How many domains have you blacklisted in your spam filter?

I started using a spam filter a few weeks ago and I just skimmed my blacklist. There are about 100 domains. The list is still growing but slowly now. The great majority of spam sent to me use hotmail, yahoo.com and a few other domains.

I used to have hundreds, but now I have none. Bayesian filtering rules!

Read the Paul Graham articles [paulgraham.com] if you want to learn about the technique. There are a few good (free) filters available in SpamBayes and PopFile...and a few more, but I've only really played with those two.

One (don't know how they got my address). Keeping e-mail addy always javascript coded and have a quite a long .htaccess ban list.

I just got Thunderbird... it's in v0.4, so it's not 100% ready for prime-time. But if you can handle the occasional small bug, it's already a very good mail program. It's free and comes with Bayesian filtering. (It learns really fast!)
