In regards to how much spam you receive, it may be worthwhile to check out
www.bluesecurity.com.  It is different from any other anti-spam measures
that I've seen in that it is proactive.  Blue Security keeps track of how
many spams that its customers receive from a particular company, then
sends complaints for every single spam email that each of its customers
receive until the spammer stops sending the emails.  Thousands of
complaints an hour convinces the companies that it is too *expensive* to
send out spam emails. Check it out.

That seems more retaliatory rather than proactive.  Though if it works, it
works I guess... then what is to stop them from doing the same back again?
