Ah! But you don't have to use web based anything as they offer free pop accounts. So, evolution just snorkles down my email directly to my machine and I get almost zero spam here as the spam it detects it keeps there, instead of delivering it to me. Like you, every so often I firefox into my online account to empty the trash after searching for the false-positives. Works pretty darn well for me. Yahoo, on the other hand, has been the garbage collector for the world. Like a .22 with the serial numbers burred off, it was a "throw-down" for me. > But > I sure can say that I get a ***t-load of spam from gmail accounts, and > that gmail either does not have an abuse mechanism in place, or simply > refuses to respond to it's use. > Whatever the case, gmail is the new hotmail in my admin life.
