my trained spam assassin and custom filter (worked on by Cowboy and jcoplin (I think I got that right...) and I get maybe - MAYBE 2 unmarked spams per day. Another 10 or so that ARE flagged. the rest is never seen...

But that's only combating inbound spam, it doesn't prevent people from masking the headers with your domain making it look like you.

I have one project account with GMail, so far I've found it's not been wrong once but because I'm used to spam filters not being accurate I still check the spam folder to be safe. Since using G I've considered moving my other accounts into it also because they still allow you to use IMAP meaning I can use Thunderbird mail client and not have to sign into their website. I'm not a fan of their interface which is why using Thunderbird is cool.
