A bit of this and a bit of that

Spam has become a certainty today, just like death and taxes. I start my day usually by deleting a couple hundred spam emails and delete more and more through the day. It’s not too bad, but when I go on holiday (like I did last week), I come back to literally thousands of spam emails. I get email about increasing the size of parts of my body, investing in Arizona living trusts and of course the fact that have won millions of dollars in a lottery I knew nothing about but luckily someone had bought me a ticket for.

I’m experimenting with a couple of add-ons for Firefox which should have alleviate the problem, but the problem with spam prevention is that there’s always a chance that a legitimate email is flagged as spam. But we’ll see how we get on. What do YOU use to prevent spam?
