I get well over 200 a day.  Filtering keeps about 99% of them out, and never a 
false positive (I got 2 false positives last year and I didn't respond to them 
anyway because I didn't care to reply to them :-)

This is because I've had my email address for nearly a decade, and I have no 
plans on changing it.  I will never change my email address, because I want my 
friends to always have a way to contact me.  Spam sucks, but not having your 
friends able to contact you sucks more.

No, I run email clients that don't have vulnerabilities!!!  Change your email 
client to something that doesn't attempt to run trojans!  (Thunderbird, mutt, 
pine, etc.)
