That is unfortunate. I use filters and a homegrown challenge/response
system that operates like this:
1. Filter mail from mailing lists.
2. Filter mail from my scripts.
3. Delete mail marked by my ISP as spam (scored 10/10).
4. Delete mail in character sets which I cannot read.
5. Delete mail from unwanted senders (blacklist/killfile).
6. Filter mail from known senders (whitelist).
7. Filter mail that is in reply to a message from me.
8. Challenge all other mail.

Great. With this kind of paranoia you might as well live alone in an secluded island and hope that people will love to send you legitimate emails.
