Does anyone use an e-mail spam blocker (like Spam Arrest or whatever) that you think works well (both in cutting out the spam, but also in ease-of-use for people writing you)? I need to cut this shit out pronto!

It gets annoying because you sometimes have to "train" them to recognize spam, either by assigning "scores" to spam or marking legitimate e-mails as "not spam." Sometimes they work TOO well and then block things that aren't spam, which means you have to go through and look at the spam anyway to weed out the one or two things that might be real messages.

It makes me sad.
