I have an ISP, use Outlook and Windows 2000 Pro, and NEVER get ANY spam or unwanted emails. But I do not post my email address anywhere. Years ago, I set up a web-based email (yahoo or hotmail) to use for any online transactions/shopping or registrations (instead of using my home email address). And never click on the message at the bottom of an unwanted email that says "To Take Me Off This Mailing List, Click Here". All that does is confirm to the spammer that they got a hit. Many spammers are not only trying to sell something, they are also collecting confirmed HITS, compiling a data base and selling the data base to other spammers. I never use my ISP based, personal email address for ANYTHING but family and friends. ZERO Spam.
