A follow-up question of sorts -- I've been using gmail as my email provider of choice for years -- so I've become accustomed to their service. I have a "spam" folder on my mailboxes and they filter and route the emails into that folder if they detect it *may* be spam. I regularly go through that folder and pull out the odd false-positives that occur (yes, they occur all the time).
For those of you who have local mail via one of the big providers (shaw/mts/etc) - if you use their email addresses (@shaw or @mts, /etc) do they provide some kind of spam filtering service? If so, what do they do with the spam that they detect? Do they file it somewhere, or just let it through to your mailbox or delete it or???
Is there any consistency between providers or do they all do their own thing?
Thanks.
Dan.

Shaw gives four choices: - no filtering; - tag it by adding "[Shaw Suspected Junk Email]" to the subject line; - put it in a "junk_email" folder and automatically delete it in a week; - just delete it.
Nice options to provide to an end-user. Thanks for the info...
