what webmail are you running? cause if you are using yahoo, hotmail, or any of the other popular ones you are almost gaurenteed to get spam of all shapes and colors. I use lycos mail, and get NO SPAM. its free. its good.
proxy servers are just what everyone explained already, they are just a neutral computer that processes any network requests you send it and goes to get it for you. THe site or whatever you are accessing only sees the proxies ip, and therefore no spam gets to you. The downside is that your access time will be reduced.
There are several proxy lists out there, so youre bound to find at least one good free one. If your low tech, just go to anonymizer.com and use their demo login. There used to be a few other sites, one started with a J, but I havent used those in a while. They are especially useful when attending public school that restricts free speech. (of course they dont restrict anonymizers or google..he he)
