I use POBOX.COM, with various filtering set up there, and on average, ZERO of those spams get through to me on a given day, and typically there are one or two 'false positives' a week, which are held for me in a special folder on their server ( separate from the thousands of spams, whcih are dispensed with automatically ) which I can check, and release those I choose, ad 'white list' them. I HIGHLY recommend them. FOr like $ 15 / year ( or whatever ), you get multiple addy's , and GREAT server-side filtering.
