i run my own email server, using a spam filter i set up years ago without explicit blocking (only tagging and filtering) and didn't touch it since. the amount of spam i get is negligible. a few false positives, but nothing serious. in fact it's so little i could probably just leave all the spam in the inbox. it is tagged as spam anyways. | ||

I've just been the target of some spam "campaign" on my own email server. By the time I was annoyed enough to block some IPs and add a custom spamassassin rule for them, they had already stopped. It lasted two days. Other than that it looks like I get like 4 spams per week. Mind, i don't publish my email anywhere. If you look at my profile on here you'll get a gmail address. | ||

I have my own email server with a wildcard address (I still use gmail for anything that's actually important). I put certain addresses in shady forms a few times. I get a couple of spam messages per day to those addresses - always the same spam few spam campaigns. One is offering to sell me electric bicycles or partner with me to sell electric bicycles (didn't really pay attention) and more recently I started getting business proposal advance fee spam. The volume is pretty manageable and if I wanted, a pretty simple filter tuned for the spam I actually get would catch all of it and no ham. I got spam to postmaster once for some reason. That's a nice way to make admins aware of your spam campaign. Spam is presumably more of a problem when you're more well-known and you don't have the option to control your own filters. |
