A little sidenote, Syc, but something interesting about EarthLink's spaminator. They're going to add the option of only allowing emails from folks in your address book. People not in your address book get a message bumped back prompting them to ask you for permission to email you. You can also add whole domains to your address book. I think the external beta will start in a month or two.

The downside(s)? If you have half a brain, you can set this up in whatever mail program you have without EarthLink's help. Also, you have to use their "Total Access" product to use this functionality.

Oh, and to get back on topic? I don't use anything but Spaminator for my EarthLink addresses. I get relatively little spam on there. My yahoo and hotmail addresses are awful, though.
