This is my system for avoiding having to worry too much about spam.......

I have one domain name that I mainly use for personal mail that redirects mail to different Gmail accounts depending on the prefix to the @. I have one or two other Gmail accounts that I use for registration of software, forum registration etc. It's exceedingly rare that spam ever gets through Gmail's filters. Every so often, I review the Spam folders in Gmail for anything that's been wrongly filtered, but it's unusual for that to happen. When I download mail from the Gmail accounts to Outlook 2010, Google automatically archives the mail so I have a backup there of all my mail going back years, in addition to the regular backups of my Outlook PST files.

Works well for me.

I remember when my mom was alive, she learned how to use a computer to be able to keep in touch;
Yahoo as it turned out declared her emails as SPAM... it was so much fun sifting through hundreds of BS to read moms...
"yahoo to this day has done nothing to improve"...

gmail is somewhat limited and monitored by google themselves for opportunities including stocks going up or down and passing that info to "global crap streets"...
gmail is also banned in china and other countries where products are manufactured.

No matter what we do, we need to improve on email security and at a minimum, don't give emails to people offering free software/services;

many tech companies are lamb and uneducated that they can use system ID no mater where one is in the world;
Wonder how many catch that term?
