People need to take responsibility for their own email boxes. If you don't like what's in there, then you need to use one of the *many* creative tools for dealing with it. (ie: Cloudmark Spamnet, Spam Arrest... etc, etc..)

How does that help the AOL's, Earthlink's, and all the hundreds of smaller ISP's that are having to use their servers to process it?

I'd love to filter all the spam I get - over 1000 so far today and I'm a nobody - but once I start filtering out EVERY word they use, I dump "good" emails. :angry: Shok sent me pictures of his kids the other day and I didn't even know it until I started going through my attachments (which I also have to delete every day). Yeah, I know, he's a damn spammer , but THOSE I wanted, hehehe.

Now, I'll be honest: I don't have a mail server, so maybe I'm talking about my big butt that the end user blocking it doesn't help the ISP. I'm just going by what I've read.
