Alaska.net has added an X-Spam-Status to our e-mails, and that's been helpful for filtering, but I'd just as soon they block them completely. So far, I've never seen any false positives. I'm also glad that spammers have almost universally gone to HTML mail, since both of my mail programs treat them as attachments, instead of opening or previewing them. -- V.G.
