I collect mail via POP3 now (using Turnpike), so I never get to see

How is collecting email using POP3 going to stop spam?

Turnpike has a very useful feature which rejects without downloading
anything addressed to an email name which you have blacklisted, and/or
one it doesn't recognise. This means that only stuff addressed to
current valid names gets through into the mailboxes. Which is all very
well if you're on broadband, you hardly notice the time it takes to
bounce 1000 rubbish mails - I unfortunately was travelling when I got
hit, and doing this via dial-up, though still quicker than trying to use
Outlook or Outlook Express, was not fun.
