Dealing with contact / question forms.?

What is the best way with dealing with all the mail from contact forms? Do you have them emailed to you? I have been doing that but considering just letting them submit a message straight into a DB and I'll just access them from my site, and be able to apply filters to filter out spam easily, because I get a lot of repetitve spam.

Having it on the website I can just login from anywhere rather than waiting til I get home since I have it setup with outlook.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

A lot of the form data I process comes in via e-mail still. The benefits of this for me is that I have a lot of Outlook filters and rules that do all the work for me. It just waits for me to give it a final once-over before I send it on its merry way for processing. I rarely get any spam via my forms.

An online database has its appeal to me as well, but Outlook just does such a good job for me that I almost hate to think what would be entailed in making an online system that worked this well.
