Did anyone notice spam decreasing lately ?

[Grimner]

Thought it was just me, but last week was a definit decrease in spam to my POP3.

And this week they're back...

Mine has pretty much doubled in the last couple of months.

On one of my accounts, I get ~30 junkmails per day, on the other one I'd guesstimate I avarge between 150-300 per day.
No, Im not kidding by the way.

If you're looking for trends, viagra seems to be on the rise lately though(pun intended).

I get much more penis enlargement than viagara.

Yeah penis enlargement is definately up as of late too.
I get fewer Nigeria 419's though, kinda sad, those were often rather funny, and the asian teens are down too.

Still the same, but seems like spammers are losing touch at what they're really trying to do. I get nothing but gibberish messages, obviously intended to fool antispam software, but if I can't read it then what's the point?

Spam on my web based account has decreased lately. I think they're taking better care now. But my POP3 account has increased so much i decided to try out a spam filter. I asked my ISP if they had any plans on doing anything about it & they told me to just get a filter myself.

I get tons in my yahoo account...its what I use it for

I just got office 2003 and on the account my exgirlfriend knows, I get about 50-60 a day (although I only check it to make sure she is still signing me up for "offers" though email!). My main account get about 1 every month, if that. Hotmail has done an excellect job filtering spam lately. I use them to sign up for games and if I have to have a passport account to play something...as much as I sign up for stuff I only get one or two a week, usually from ubid.com whom I have unsubscribed about a billion times from.

well, spamming to my hotmail account has been decreasing but now they are bombing my main e-mail which didnt get spam before this year

email to my 5 year old POP account is getting absurd lately. I may have to dump it and do the 3 teir email thing. I can always whitelist forward to my new email I guess...sad to see the spammers winning. Even my bayesian filtering hasn't been able to keep up with the increase in spam (20-30 a day, a few slipping past filters a week)

Now that you mention it, I do notice Mailwasher pulling a lot less emails for me each day. It pulls from 6 accounts (not all mine, but 2 Hotmails included) and I used to get 150+ emails after 1 night. Now it's more like 50, if that.
