Sure--but if you have to be continually retraining your mail client,
it kind of
defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

My situation may be a tad different, because of the sheer volume of
spam I
receive (close to 1,000 a day). Filters alone won't work for me
simply because
so many of the spammers are developing countermesures to evade them.

Ultimately, the only solution to spam is for it to be no longer
profitable for
the spammers--that people stop responding ot it.

The problem there is that some of the spammers aren't spamming their
product. They're spamming you with other peoples products so that you
don't buy from them, and you buy from their competitor who is the
actuall spammer.
