That's about the same number as I get spam emails to all my email 
addresses combined. I wash them through a Windows (sorry) utility called 
K9, which classifies them by content, and also some [black|white]list 
rules, and has a reader that allows you to cycle through the stored 
emails at a single mouse click. A bit of speed-reading and it's possible 
to double-check the 50% least-spammy ones in about ten minutes.

It's not absolutely the best software (it tends to systematically 
over-classify as spam if almost all your received emails are spam), but 
it helps a lot.  http://keir.net/k9.html
