Hi,
One of the first things you can do to reduce spam, is to remove your email address from your web site. You can set up an online form, to allow people to contact you.
In my case, I get over 200 emails a day, and 75 procent of this is spam.
I also run Mailwasher since a few weeks, but so far I believe it doesn't make any difference to the amount of spam that I get... but that may change of course...
Good luck,
Dirk Dupon
