Canon UK has sold/leaked my email address, as has cec.co.uk; now it appears to be exclusively used by spammers. Even if Canon did send some legitimate mail, I no longer care if I get it; it's probably only marketing material anyway.
Hint to Canon: if you better protected your customer's privacy, you might improve your customer's willingness to receive your emails.
Hint to Martijn, I don't think they're reading this. :-)
To be honest the amount of junk mail I get is not so enormous that it's worth huge efforts to get rid of it. I do filter a bit using procmail. I have a couole of explicitly blacklisted addresses, I split out all my mailing list mail and then I mark anything not explicitly To: or Cc: me as junk, I just glance through the subjects hitting 'd' as I go. Using mutt makes deleting mail fast and easy.
