Cans of meat like stuff

Teri recently spouted off about SPAM and I have to concur. I need to do something. When we had DSL, our mail was delievered here and I could filter at the server level - and we got a large amount of spam, but we were weeding it down as we went based on rules and the like.

DSL is gone, cable is here and we can't host our own...The host we have now does allow us to build lists, but the add some rules that I can't use. For example, if we type in something that can not be in the subject, then anything with that gets deleted...cool, I can live with that. However, once that rule is set, then ever piece of mail MUST have a subject or it's deleted. I've got to many family and friends that don't 'get' e-mail and regularly don't include a subject. And they have some flakey rules that are added in other areas too.

So, what to do...I'll have to look for a client side filter that doesn't ax real mail, and hopefully is free...although I doubt there is such a thing.
