not all mailers mail porn, some simply mail mortgage,hgh,and printer ink. The only reason people do mail is for money, if spamming didnt work people wouldnt do it. What people dont seem to know is that not all spammers use these "dirty tricks" such as flooding inboxes with the same ad 5 times a day or not processing remove requests. People who do these things usually make very little money since they are just pissing off the consumer. But at the same time one could say that all people who work in the adult industry also promote child porn, just because a few people decide to give an industry a bad name doesnt mean everyhahahaha does the same thing. I honestly belive that antis dont want spam to die since spammers arent the only ones who make money off spam, antispam products generated just over $1 billion in revnue in 03, and now spamhaus wants a .mail which will cost somewhere around $2000 a year. Not to mention if spam did die off 3/4 of the people in nanae would be bored 18 hours of the day.

If you actually want to cut down on the ammount of spam you recieve i suggest changing your email address to something unique. For example if you currently have the email [email protected] change it to [email protected]. Also dont include that email in your whois information and dont use it when ordering online and only give it out to those who need to contact you. Other than that there is really nothing that can be done except for installing something like spamassasin on your mail server.
