Spam. What can I do?

Hello,


Recently I been getting more and more spam in my inbox, and now im auctually getting more spam than my yahoo and hotmail account combined its beginning to get very insane.

Im currently using spam assassin on the web server, which properly flags the spam and puts the spam email in an attachment (so no virus's when I click on the spam email).

My thing is spam assassin is great at flagging the spam with few false positives, but what I want to do is delete the email alltogether before it clutters up my inbox. So I'm looking for a server-side app to do this, since I cannot configure it (wont read my config files).

Any suggestions?


Thanks

Create a fake real hotmail address used just to retrive confirmations from sites tat require it. I did that when i switched my isp service and have had minimal proBlems.

My problem is not that, I had recent problems with a very immature person (dont ask) which has been signing me up for tons of crap and been trying to filter it, automagically

Im getting about 400-500 spam emails a day.
