I know that the ISPs run their own "spam filters" even though some of them
like mine deny it. I've had to contact them several times to get them to
stop eliminating bona fide e mails before they get to me. The only way I
find out that they've screwed things up again is via another unaffected e
mail address or the reflector when the sender asks why I'm bouncing
his/her e mail. Not a good situation.

I probably get 60 - 80 junk e mails a day. You're pretty lucky with only
3. I use Mailwasher which lets you bounce or delete e mails right on the
server and keeps track of the spammers return addresses and automatically
flags them in the future. Even with this every day brings an entire new
crop of spammers. I'm told one good solution is to change e mail
addresses. When that one gets fully trashed switch to another. I may have
to do that.

Roger on the shotgun. I prefer .223 or .308.
