E-mail spam

[Gunload Master]

Has anyone else noticed an increase in E-mail spam lately? I've been averaging around 120 e-mails per day, most of which are spam.. And it's been increasing quite a bit.. Just wondering out of curiousity.

My home email address rakes in over 80 a day and my office / business addresses have hit the 200 mark and above per day as of late last week. My filter is catching them, but I peruse the list to watch for messages that should get through and then add them to my white list. What gives?

My college email was spam fee up til about april, then it started. Now I average about 30 a day.

Only about three a day gets through! I just add them to the LIST!

I've seen the same steady stream for years. Most are caught in my filter collection. Turn off the preview pane on your computer and only open mail you want to read. Once your PC downloads the picture in that spam mail, they know they have a live address and they sell it to more spammers.

Hard to believe that someone would pay to advertise ink jet cartridges with a subject line like "Paul savages lukewarm only", but it seems very popular...
