Scott,
There's the problem - you are running windows 98 (just kidding)...
The mailwasher program is great since it lets you bounce and delete mail from the server before it even gets to your inbox. You can even set it up to bounce and or delete mail from specific senders or entire domains automatically so you never have to even see them.
As for having your email on your site, readily available for the spambots to pick up, there is also a good little program called eCloaker that you can run, type in your email address and it will spit out encoded text for you to paste into your html page. The email address will look and funciton just like it did before to those who click on it to send you an email reply, but the address is hidden from those dang spambots. Here is the download URL for eCloaker:
Download eCloaker
Also, if you want a really feel-good link on your site to fight those porn and pill puking spammers from putting garbage in your inbox, add this link to your site:
Fight Spam! Click Here.
Read the directions on the page. What this link will do (when the spambots go through your site, looking for links and email addresses) is send them to a page containing an endless loop of bogus email addresses for them to collect.
Ha - can you tell I HATE SPAM!!
