I have some good spam filters. My ISP does some greylisting what helps eliminating some nasty stuff. And here on the site Akismet does a great job too.

The problem is with an old email account that I have in Brazil, where no spam filter is employed. The things I receive there … What strikes me are phishers that make spell errors or with poor grammar.

PS This is a joke! Spam has become an incredible bore, but there are simple ways around it. For email spam, forward all your mail through a decent spam filter, e.g. Google Mail. For comment spam on your blog, use Akismet. In both cases, train the systems by whitelisting false positives for a week or two, then leave them to get on with their jobs.
