 They've got spam filters, but the spam still gets through, including 
 some that I was very surprised to see did get through.  And the spam has 
 been heavy enough that even with their large storage per user, they've 
 recently started announcing that they were purging spam that was over a 
 month old, which means a lot of people are using their gmail addresses 
 as dump addresses and not going back to look for the mail. 
  
 Verizon's filtering seems to stop a lot, too, and I put one of my 
 accounts on auto dump.  My business mail these days goes to two other 
 addresses that I access by web.
