Any spam filters that work?

I only accept email from people I am expecting it from. It is a little more work at first but, after a month or two I am safe sending all email I do not specifically allow to the SPAM folder for automatic deletion. You start by setting a filter that says "if you are not in my contacts list, you are SPAM" but, don't set it to automatically delete yet.

Then once a day or so for a few weeks you look through the SPAM folder marking things you want as "not SPAM" and leaving the others be. Once you get to the point that you do not see anything you want ending up in the SPAM folder, set it to automatically delete after a few days.

I let people know that if they plan to email me, be sure to let me know so that I can add them to the "white list". To some this may seem extreme but, I have no need of unsolicited mail in paper form or electronic so, it works for me.
