FYI – Gmail does not block spam, it only marks it as spam and directs it to another folder. This is so not blocking, the spam will continue to come regardless if you mark it or not.

What the web needs is a real spam blocker that never reaches its destination. Block it back to the point of origin.

Yeah same here, most of my spam is blocked…the only spam that gets through is when I sign up for something and then they start bombarding you with email newsletters, etc. It’s not really spam in the traditional sense, so I just use these hacks for that sort of stuff.

Interesting tips, will have to try them out.

I must say though that Gmail’s Spam filters works wonders. I rarely have to label something as Spam as it usually picks them automatically.
