I said 30+.. but then realized I don't know how many of them earthlink's spam filter is stopping before I get them... maybe 50+ then..

It's been on the rise the past couple of months. Now it's somewhere around 250 - 300 a day.

I used to get 10 or so a day, then I started religiously unsuscribing from each and every one of them. Temporarilly the spam jumped to 20 a day, but for the last few months I've been happy at 0 per day. Unsuscribing works in the long run.

at work i get about 1 a month (they're afraid of .gov domains, i guess).

varies from 10 to 25 at home per day.

After making the mistake of putting my home E mail address on the bottom of every web site I made.... Every spam bot on the net has me on a endless list of porn and ad sites.

I now get 400+ spam e mails a day. I still didn't get the nerve yet to call up my ISP to change it.
