I recieve way too much spam, more than 100 per day on avg. I have MS IE set
up with message rules to route some of the junk to a junk folder. When I
block this stuff from being downloaded from my ISP server it eventually
piles up and slows my mail account to a crawl. So my question, do the spam
blocker programs make spam mail pile up on the server ?

No. I use a program called Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net)...it
not only deletes spam from the mail server, but it also "bounces" it
back to the sender as undeliverable. I now have it configured to do it
autmatically...I never even see most of it.

All spam blockers need input from you to know what is and isn't spam,
btw...so it'll take a little time and effort on your part to get any of
'em working. And you'll never be able to cut it down to -0- without
blocking all email from every other ISP...'cuz spammers use bogus (and
sometimes real) MSN, AOL, Yahoo, Earthlink return addresses. But a good
one will block all spam from web domains...and allow you to manually
delete the rest without downloading it.
