Spam filter working nicely…
The Cloudmark plugin for Microsoft Outlook which I mentioned yesterday is working well. It’s trapped over 100 pieces of junk in the last 24 hours and I’ve only found 2 false positives (emails in the spam folder that weren’t spam). I’m happy with that. 
Speaking of which, there’s a very plausible bit of spam going around at the moment which phishes for your PayPal account details. The spam says you’ve paid several hundred dollars for a plasma tv and if you don’t want it should log in to cancel. Naturally, the link takes you to a site that’s not PayPal and attempts to steal your login information. So please, keep an eye out for that… it looks very real. To be on the safe side, I only ever visit PayPal from a link on my browser’s “Start” page. I know that one’s genuine.
If you’d like to boost the usefulness of your browser’s start page, check out this cheap and cheerful (but very useful) software I had programmed for me.
