One of the new features of my hosting service, WebHost4Life, is a vastly improved webmail interface.  A sprinkling of ajax here and there to make it more user friendly, but the big thing is a very good spam trap.  I use webmail from work (like everyone else), but typically are challenged to find the real messages between the constant barrage of refinance offers, offers to enlarge certain things, offers to loose certain things, etc.  Their new interface, from SmarterTools, cuts it down to a usable level.  Yes, some still make it through but we are talking on the order of less than a hundred a day.  Who would have ever thought that less than 100 spam messages per day was now a good thing?! Even more, there is a nifty reporting feature that offered an astonishing figure: I received 6,722 e-mail messages during the month of August.  No more than 2-300 of those could be legitimate, and that's being very generous.  That's a lotta spam!
