I'm not noticing any extra spam. Telus seems to catch most of it. If you are suddenly getting more then you've somehow gotten on a list.
Do you get spam from the same people all the time? If so, then blocking will work. Although usually spam comes from different sources each time, so blocking won't help. Even baysian filters (the ones the "learn" what are good email vs spam based on what words are in the ones you accept vs the ones you mark as spam) on my home system are missing a specific stock market spam.
