It's great to come home from vacation (I had a great time, thanks) with an inbox full of email and only one spam. The surprising bit, though, is that it's the first spam in my inbox in five months. That's right, my friends: I've been sent 19,675 emails in that time and only one spam (out of 7,951) has come through.
I couldn't be happier with SpamArrest. The service was pretty spotty when I first joined, but they must've added a server or two in late October because it's been on fire since. I've tried many different approaches to beating spam, and this wins hands-down. My biggest beef with most other solutions is having to deal with false positives and negatives. Once per day I check all of the email that wasn't allowed through -- no “false negatives” make it to my inbox. This is really only necessary to check for any automated emails (recently subscribed newsletters and whatnot[1]) from addresses that haven't been verified. I love it!
[1] Hopefully all email newsletters will get on the RSS bandwagon and this will eventually be unnecessary.
