I have a method for reducing the amount of spam I receive. I have a domain name. Whenever I am required to signup on a website to reap the benefits that the site offers I use an address that starts with the website name and then add '@mysitename.com'. This way, when my POP3 server grabs all the generic emails, I get any emails from the aforementioned sites.

In this case I used 'stuff@mysitename.com' to sign up for stuff's offerings. Little did I know that my email address was going to be distributed to despots so they can inform me of better ways to pleasure my (non existant) lover etc. Now I recieve about 100 emails a day on the topic. Thanks stuff.co.nz...youre shit!

Now the intended (temporary) solution is to place an junkmaill filter on my email client but whats gonna happen when I have to use dial-up? Thats right, Im not going to be able to anything for about 10mins while all the shit spam email is going to be downloaded.

I wouldnt be so pissed if it was spam from signing up with p*rn sites but its not. Its from signing up to find out about jobs etc. Now I find out about the wrong sorts of jobs altogether :|.

My rant is concluded. EOT.

Sucks mate, but having a domain name to get your emails really doesn't do shit. I suggest you download something like mailwasher as you can set exactly what emails you want to download and see all of them before you download them.
