As at least one other reported, that's why I use Gmail. No maintenance
by me, excellent and trainable spam filtering, and I can reach my mail
from any internet connection. Well, almost any. My company has decided
that such practices are EVIL, so I have to be on a non-standard vlan
to read gmail.

Spam accumulates in a special folder, and I just whack it (2
keystrokes) once or twice a week. There are almost never any false
positives. The most humorous thing about spam on Google: when you
select the spam folder, at the very top is a tiny add for spam (the
almost-meat stuff) recipes!

OTOH, fielding you own email is a worthwhile learning exercise.
