We just started to test Spam Assasin on our servers at work. Oddd thing is I dont get any spam. I use a hotmail account for anything I do on the web and leave it to Microsoft to clear out every so often. If your putting your email address on the web make sure you do it in such a way that the robots etc cant recognise it as such.
