I hope I don't jinx it by saying so, but I've been using Earthlink and they've been very good at screening out the spam. I only seem to get junk email from places I've actually done business with, like bookstores, etc. Otherwise, no spam.
Similarly, our network administrators at work have been superb at filtering out spam. Once in a while, though, this has led to getting legitimate email screened out because of certain key words. It's kind of amusing that that happens.
OTOH, my web-based email address that I use to sign on here and at yahoo, gets spam all the time. It seems like it is definitely from the yahoo participation. Somehow, people seem to be able to get my email address from groups I am signed on for at yahoo. I don't really care so much because I only use that email for my online identity. Every so often I just delete everything from the inbox there.
