I don't spend any money on mail type things.  DCC, Pyzor, Razor2...
they're all free, although I don't know how one would go about
implementing them on a Windows system, especially if you're just using
your mail client to grab mail from a server via POP3 or IMAP.  Same with
SpamAssassin.  All those are licensed under some OSS compatable license
as far as I know.

SpamCop.net, AFAIK, is free to send spams to.  I've never used it,
myself.  I think you can set up an account so you can just forward the
spams to them (rfc/822 [attached] forwards, not inline forwards) and not
have to worry too much about it beyond that.

The best way to battle spam, really, involves running your own mail
server... but that relies upon you having a reasonably consistent
Internet connection (you should be online most of the time, but it can
work if you're only online for four or five hours every four days) and
your ISP allowing such things.  So many ISPs these days don't let people
run servers, for whatever reason.  I'm lucky enough my ISP gives out
static IP addresses and has no AUP I need to live by.  :-)

This is an interesting notion but haven't got a clue where to begin.  On
Cable modem (Charter.net) but it is DCHP AFAIK stays static for long periods
but has been known to change whenever they work on thier end.  Most of my
machines have WinDoze but one has Suse office 9.0 just begining to explore
it Mozilla is included on it but haven't been able to make heads or tails of
it or how to use it.
