Default How do you fight spam?

Both incoming and outgoing how do you combat it?
I don't really like filters so I would just hit the delete button

I don't really bother. Just press the delete button and no point going to get the spammer because half the time they used exploited servers and the server admin is almost useless in solving these problems as they can't trace the source themselves either.

Maybe what we really need is a joined effort between givernments to combat this and not paying millions and millions to find a solution ourselves.
Its an international threay but we are fighting it at a local and regional level.... Its like terrorism!!! Osmi Bin Spammy!!

I don't really trust spam filters because some times the good mails get filtered as well.
The best is to formula your own using Outlook express and constantly verify what is being deleted, just in case your boss sent you something

Hahaha, Thats a good one
If they openly announce that they are a spammer on the streets, I wonder how many people will gang up and have a bash'em up session
