Hrm. I must be a nobody. I get a few hundred emails a day from various mailing lists and get about 1 spam every two or three months. I issue my snotmail address to lists that I do not trust. That gets hammered. Then I got my own server/hoster thingie and that runs spam asassin. Zero (more or less)
I'm utterly fed up with spammers, phishers, virus spreaders and fruitcakes

If its a virus then isn't a bit pointless returning them... I used to try to notify people when this happened but it came so common I gave up. (And espcially when I got a phone call from someone who blamed me for having a virus)
If its a spam email then a jaunty note to [email protected] would do the trick... Anytime our isps have had people bitching about us then we've had to turn it around quickly. (Usuall some clueless idiot...)

I've just got one in french offering me the bungee jump of lifetime! Beats the normal meds online that I get 10 times daily,
I get around 200 spam emails a day on one email account and I use Spampal, its free and just eats up all my spam so I don't have to.
download it from http://www.spampal.org/
I tried a few different ones but it was by far the best

If it's a Wordpress blog, this kind of thing helps ditch the comment spam - I had the same problem.

Another forum I'm on (running phpBB) has had trouble with random posting bots. They post up seemingly innocuous, if meaningless, messages (such as "I agree") on lots of threads. But they have links to various gambling websites in their signatures - presumably to increase their weighting on Google.
The scary thing is that these bots have managed to sign themselves up to the forum, find threads and start posting.
