I use a Yahoo one for that.  Since most of the spam I used to receive
came via them, I thought I'd return the favour.  And their unavoidable
anti-spam features seem less crap than Google's.

And therein lay my big hate about anti-spam software, the false
positives.  Quite apart from having to double-check on it negates the
value of using it, you and and I know we have to do it, the masses do
not.  They just trust it, and important mail disappears, unseen.

I get tired of having to educate them to check their spam folder (which
they don't even know exists), and to deliberately mark non-spam mail as
being non-spam.  Some don't even want to do that, because they're
afraid they'll mess up gmail which they think knows what it's doing. 
Hah!  The other trick, that may work, is to add desirable emails to
your contact list.

I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the list.
