I’ve decided to forward all my e-mail to my personal Gmail account on a trial basis. So far, this seems to be drastically reducing the amount of spam I have to stare at via my mail client. The drawback is, I still have to log in to Gmail to filter that spam to make sure it’s being caught correctly, and there still are some false positives (and some missed spam messages).

But that’s why my original filter system of rejecting anyone not in my address book on Thunderbird is still in place.

It seems to be working alright so far, though — thank goodness for Google’s ever-expanding storage. If you don’t believe me, look at the Gmail welcome page. That’s an up-to-the-second tally of disk space available to users. Ph33r.
