I used SpamAssassin for a time, and it is very efficient. But I've used Gmail since it's debut and in my opinion, the spam filtering is the best. What's really cool, is <a href="http://www.google.com/a/" title="Google Apps" rel="nofollow">Google Apps</a> will host your domain email giving you the Gmail interface and all the cool stuff that goes with it. Hey Mitch,

Glad to hear from you!

I was musing on the whole spam thing the other day myself, trying to determine if SpamAssassin would help or hurt. I wondered if Spam would ever "go away", but as you've said, it is a reality of communication. If anything, it has more filters than most. I can't prevent credit card offers from arriving at my house or DirectTV from calling during dinner. At least with email I can do a little traffic directing. As for IM and SMS, I think they will go through a "spam phase" as they mature into accepted forms of communication. Keep up the blog!
