One of my mail accounts has suddenly started getting 150+ spams per day...

# well
you could set it to not download messages until requested... that way you can just look through the headers, most spam stands out a mile with it's ridiculous spelling

best... discontinuing the use of email has a 100% success-rate, but may not be what you're looking for.

# If you can
(have someone) set up your email server to use Spamassassin. Works great, is free.
