I've been using Thunderbird to sort out my junk email for a while, ever since I walked away from my Gmail account. Thunderbird does a great job, but it does mean it has to stay running somewhere.

However I'm currently in the process of moving and as a result I've had to shut down the system that that I had been running Thunderbird on. The result of which, obviously, is that my inbox is now being flooded with spam.

Since it's been a while since I last looked at the problem, I figured I ask. How do you deal with spam email?

I run my own mail server with rspamd. It learns spam automatically based on the emails I move into the Spam folder and gives new incoming mails a probability score. If the probability of an email being spam is over a certain threshold, it gets moved into the Spam folder automatically or deleted entirely.

It works extremely well! But I also share my mailserver with a few friends and we have a collection of spam that spans ~20 years, which is a great dataset for training tools like these.
