Mimecast!

Google apps domain. Separate email address for each company I deal with.
Very easy to black hole any sold email address.

I honestly don't get a lot of spam, and what does come in Gmail takes care of.

I use Zoho Mail. Probably because I dont want to pay anything. It works well enough for me.

1. Use the filter facility on your mail to set up rules like 'delete all mail with 'penis' in the title'.

2. The occasional one that slips through - email back and tell them you have a. reported this email to the relevant authorities (there are in fact relevant authorities to report certain spam mails to), b. suggest they get a job and c. you are praying for them. This gets you taken off their list and after a while the amount of those 'I'm in ... country and need to get ... billions out' stop or slow to a trickle.

1. Don't laugh but there goes about 80% of my legitimate emails..

2. Once you reply your email address will be marked as legit & live and be sold to other money-whoring dodgy enterprises.
