I concur :confused:

I also concur...if you saw my spam folder...you would understand. Just flad a few things as spam, and it picks up everything after that.

In my experience the spam filter has been a little too good, and has marked several messages as spam that were in fact legit emails.

And I forwarded all of my personal accounts there. :|

well if you'd stop giving your email addy to the porn sites none of this would be a problem.

I've been a little disappointed recently, as till a few weeks ago, i'd gotten zero spam.

But lately, i've been getting some in my inbox.

You gave the address out to the wrong person/site. I don't get ANY spam through mine. Yahoo's spam filter is by far worse... worse than Hotmails. I get hundreds of emails a day at Yahoo. Hotmail maybe 10 a day are spam. Gmail, none.
