Do you use a program to filter spam?

I am getting loads of SPAM from by forwarded gmail account.
Gmail will send mail with similar names to you.
For example on my address it sends mail to huwnet, huwne, huwn, etc.

I use a spam filter program called 'Spamnix' on Eudora and considering it filters out over thousand spam emails a day and very rarely junks legitimate emails it does work very well.

I just setup my mail server to filter out spam with SpamCop and DNS Lookup.

I also setup some keyword filters to filter out messages that are in a completely different language.

I still get a few here and there but it cuts down on 95% of them.

The problem with reverse DNS Lookup is that you won't be able to get emails from this site as this sites IP address use to belong to a spammer around 3 years ago which still effects things now.
