I'm sorry, but I just have to say: ROTFL!

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I got that *few* spams in a day.

I don't know if you're in a position to subscribe to a commercial spam 
filtering service, but you might want to consider it. My company 
subscribes to FrontBridge, and they're pretty good. (Of course, they 
were just bought by MicroSoft, so we'll see how much longer they're any 
good.) Assuming their statistics are correct, we're averaging about 
50,000 spams per day, for a company of 70-80 people, with occasional 
peaks as high as 100,000. The service is only about $3/month per person.

Even after that filtering, I probably get about 20-30 spams per day.
