For me the problem is not spam that comes to the list, since that is indeed
not so much, but since the feed started I need a private spam filter,
which I did not need before.

With a simple pop account is there a way to avoid downloading the spam 
over my slow modem line ? That is, make it bounce from the pop server ?
How do you guys avoid private spam ?

I control my own domain and since there are no customers on michvhf.com
I make sure anyone who connects to my SMTP port has working reverse DNS,
I have a long list of domains that spam regularly, another list of IP
blocks that have been spamming and I use MAPS.  According to the logs,
all of these are turning around more than 100 spams a day - and I still
get (on some days) 50-100 more that actually get around all of that.  I
also use some disposable email addresses so I can see where the address
was culled from and drop the address when it happens.  Not very successful
tho - I guess I can only call it 50% at times.

Vince.
