    Personally I'd think about getting new email addresses (I'm guessing you're only using the one your ISP gave you or something like only one hotmail address). Use one to give to friends and then one or more to companies, website logins etc. I give every company a unique address in fact (well over 300 now) and those company email addresses get zero spam without any filtering.

    If it is an OE address, I have been using a freebie product called "Spamfighter" seems to work well for me.
