ISP's that adopt "black lists" in order to block email from proven spam generators is an effective strategy for filtering spam.  The trouble with such screening is that the ISP's filtering system may delete messages from your account that were not spam, but may in fact had similar points of origin (thus, very legitimate, very important emails may never get through).  The best thing to do when using a spam filter is to always check the bulk file to see if any such messages got re­routed.  Spambusters also recommends never responding to spam links in any way, as this confirms the email address is good.  The spammer may delete your address from their list, but it is often sold to other spammers, resulting in more spam, not less.  Although there are agencies you can write to get your information removed from third­class mailers, even telemarketing lists, there is no such equivalent for spam.  In fact, such services that advertise they can do this for you are usually spam themselves!
