No, I'd prefer things to stay the way they are.
Remember, even if you never post your mail address anywhere on the
WWW, friends and family will have it in their address book, and as
soon as one of their computers is hacked/trojaned/wormed, your address
will be exposed. Nothing for it but to apply a good filter... I'm
quite happy with Gmail's spam filtering. I get a minimum of spam
messages in my inbox, and I don't believe I've ever encountered a
false positive.
Cheers,
Garmt.
