You are not the only person in this world who is sick and tired of this problem. I think everyone with an email account is affected by this in one way or another.

I don't have any solutions for you specifically. My local internet service provider has a really good anti-spam system in place that's kept my mailbox essentially spam-free for a very long time. It's a slight pain sometimes when it blocks legitimate messages from getting through, but it does it so rarely these days that I now consider the trade-off acceptable.

I hope there's a global solution to this problem by the time my daughter is old enough to start begging for her own email address.
