So, throughout many threads we see the PC users having to resort to third parties whether software, domains names of ISP based.
Question for the Mac users and I'd really appreciate brutally honest answers. My address and the admin one get everywhere due to the nature of the work running the site - thus we're plagued with spam.
I use no spam killing products at all and rely on the OSX mail client. On today's first mail pass I got 58 pieces of spam and all bar 2 were automatically binned. This is the consistent ratio throughout the last couple of years.
Do you get similar results?
If not be honest and let us know if you just run the mail client as it came or put it through a 'training period' first.
My opinion is that it is very good indeed but I get a huge amount of spam. Therefore I'd be interested in your views on how the standard software included in the machine works for you. The legislation in Europe and States has been lobbied into ineffectuality so it is important to discuss the subject.

PS For the PC users. Did you know that the biggest producer of anti spam hardware and software in the world is also the most succesful producer of 'spam cannons' - the high end servers firing out the stuff in the first place. Sick world sometimes but what a business concept - akin to the the makers of 'Raid' building roach colonies and liberating them en masse....... What bloody hope is there when they're lobbying. Win -win or what. A self perptuating growth industry.
The more I delve into the world of spam the more cynical I become about the entire PC industry.
Forget the pretty designer cases. Why does my machine work without third party assistance??? Something stinks in the wintel world.
