There is no such thing as less spam :(

The only two accounts where I don't receive spam in my inbox are my college address (my spam rule only allows email from gatech.edu: if spam-rating !contains "internal mail" > move into spam) and my personal email address (if "from" not in addressbook > move into spam). All other accounts have the occasional spam sneaking into the inbox.

I do get fair bit in my gmail but all of them had been caught by the spam filter until a few weeks ago and a couple a week have been slipping through. Not that big of a deal. In my hotmail account I used to get a ton but it has died off drastically in the last couple of months.

I received zero spam in my GMail account for over two years. Then I made the mistake of using it when placing an order from MWAVE.COM, and presto, I started receiving spam, and I mean spam list spam, not just advertisements from MWAVE. :(
