I get loads and loads of email spam every day, most of them pushing some kind of viagra type drug or telling me about supposed great stock options. It's probably up to a few hundred a day now. What's the best way to filter out spam? Any recomendations for good software or tools?
Set your spam filter level fairly high, and delete the crap as you see it. Wink
I get alot posing to be paypal, banks, and anywhere else they have "had a server crash and need to get back all our details".

To stop this, and if you use an opensource webmail client, which I have done before, you can code in an if-else statement deleting messages that have "paypal customer support" in the subject that doesn't come from *@paypal.com, this has other things to check though, like where any links lead to, to determine if it indeed comes from paypal.

Otherwise, report and delete.
