I use eternal-september, see http://www.eternal-september.org/.

Last spam I saw was 6 days ago, 2 postings. Before that, it wasn't more
than about 1 a day. I can't be precise coz I routinely delete it from my
Outlook Express view, and promptly forget I ever saw it.

Good thing I didn't mention the host I use. :-)

Not that it should be hard to see from my headers (and I've mentioned it
before). Mentioning it probably would have precipitated a surge there as
well.
