I get a very, very small amount of spam, so I'll be very curious what results you get on your test. Although, I understand there are those reluctant to change their email procedures and processes, and may not be able to take advantage of such filtering capabilities - but to ask the entire list to bend over so a few people can avoid moving to better technology is short sighted." I agree with Adam. SpamAssassin (a free server-side install) will get rid of 95% of the spam for you, and there are other techniques that you can use to reduce the amount of spam you get, to a tiny trickle. An easier solution that many people choose, is a Gmail account.
