How much Spam?

How much do you find you get in your mailbox each evening / morning?

I find I still get about 5 each day even with Spam Assassin running on my mail server.

My Hotmail address brings in a bit more, maybe 10 - 15 a day but I don't know what filtering they have.

I try not to post my email address on the net too often to reduce it.

You are lucky!

How long have you had the account for?

I don't get any of the viagra stuff but I get the 46.6 APR Loan stuff

All the medical stuff and the Nigerian fortunes. I run it through gmail to filter those out.

Interesting point: I one registered a domain with someone with two 1's in its title and within minutes got spam mail to its associated web address. Makes you think!

well I don't get any (thanks to our spam filter) but daily, around 400 e-mails are caught by it, and even more are let through that are still spam. And that's on a normal day, a couple of days ago we got spam attacked, and my dad woke up to find he had over 1000 spam e-mails that morning and the e-mail server had frozen and had to be restarted. It's wuite a good filter, but sometimes it takes out things that shouldn't be caught, and leaves things that should (like all of them I guess).
