#1 The office IT guy gave us the option of installing IHateSpam; so far, it's worked beautifully for us.

Earthlink has a proprietary spam filter that catches 80-90% of the junk on my home account.

#2 Yahoo mail works well,almost all spam and various other junk mail goes into the bulk folder and is automaticaly deleted.

#3 Bright Mail here. It's doing a reasonable job. The number of spam I have to strain out of my inbox mailbox can now be counted on one hand. The Spam folder, on the other hand, is a simple click on the "follow up flag" group and hit "Del".

It used to take an hour or so every day. And that was just my work email. (How that addr got out, I'll never be sure.)
