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.
"Is God a male chauvinist?" After all, had not God made the husband the head
of the wife (Ephesians 5:23)? Had not Paul asked women to stifle themselves in
church (II Timothy 2:12)? Did God make only males in His image, and then as
an afterthought made woman (as Archie Bunker suggested) a cheaper cut?
God has characteristics (revealed throughout Scripture) that are considered to
be masculine and feminine. Our own bodies mirror this. Human reproductive
glands, for example, manufacture both male and female hormones. Women’s
ovaries produce small, but significant amounts of androgen (a male hormone).
Likewise, men’s testicular canals produce not only testosterone, but also a small
but significant amount of estrogen (female hormones). God has also designed
the human anatomy so that both sexes have vestigial equipment of the
opposite sex. No one is 100% male or 100% female—not even the most
muscular man or the curviest woman can claim this distinction.
