One thing you might be forgeting is, gmail recently implemented the "domainkeys" technology, which was developed by Yahoo! Mail, and "domainkeys" was set to become industry standard technology. Go here to learn more http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys ;-)
I've heard about this before - it's certainly a step in the right direction. The drawback is that it needs to be implemented on BOTH sides for it to be effective. You can read more about such pros and cons in a nice article here: - http://www.winnetmag.com/WindowsSecurity/Article/ArticleID/42805/42805.html
In theory gmail and yahoo are ment to be the best for anti spam, but in reality, they are the same as most other providers, with or without domainkeys.
Unfortunately this seems to be the case. I will give Gmail credit where due - the filtration system they have in place works quite well. I've only recevied one or two spam emails in my inbox. The rest have gone to the spam folder where they belong. Kudos for that. The reason I stated what I did before (about changing email addresses) is from expereince. You can read my reply to Hugo which was sent seconds before this one (also to the list). In addition to what I had said there, there's another reason I failed to state. The email address I use for this list (and the other 15-20 or so I monitor) is ONLY used for such a purpose. I don't give it to friends to email me from. I don't use it when asked for my email address. I don't personally post it to public forums or such. The only way spammers could of gotten a hold of it was to lift it from one of the many onlien archives of this list. Newsgroups were also well known to have the same effect... go search Goolge groups for people talking about ways to hide their email address from newsgroups in fear of massive spam. ;) -- Peace. ~G On Sun, 31 Oct 2004 13:23:40 +0000, n3td3v <xploitable () gmail com> wrote:

Gmail was new before, hence it wasn't spammed. The best way to get rid of spam in your inbox - get a new one! Only fool-proof way there is. Now that it's been around for awhile, so has your email address.
