Yeah, email is getting nigh useless due to the fact that well over half of all email traffic is spam. We really need a Email 2.0 standard to be created and adopted ASAP which actually takes modern uses and abuses of email into account.
I get 4 or 5 spams a day on my .Mac account now. As of maybe 9 months ago, I never got any. My Mail.app junk filter pitched a fit and I had to reset it and retrain it, but it seems to be doing a good job again.
I recently installed SpamSieve on a client's machine for use with Entourage 2004, and it's really pretty great. We had previously used Spamfire, which ended up being pretty much garbage in the long run. If you can deal with client-side spam filtering, SpamSieve is highly recommended!
