*Poll *How much SPAM mail a day do you get?

I get atleast 20 e-mails that are filtered through the Hotmail Junk Mail on the lowest setting and about 5 or 6 that get to my inbox.
 
Between all of my email addresses, probably well over 40. Most get automatically filtered into the trash though so it isn't quite as bad as it may seem.
 
I get none in my main account but I do get quite a few in my yahoo.com account.

I started a hotmail account for passport and I never used it. It was like istaspam.
 
Usually none get to my inbox. I have my filters configured pretty well I guess. I have it set up so I never know about the ones that don't make it.
 
In my hotmail junkbox per 24 hour time period I probably get 70 pieces of junk mail. Bloody spammers if I ever caught one of them I would ring his neck.
 
I get way too much. and I have earthlink's spam gizmo working so lord knows how much more I would get but never see. and I've played with filters so I'm missing yet more of it, a couple deleting from server, a couple filtering straight to the trash (there's a flaw in one of 'em.. it's deleting a little bit of stuff I want to see..). and I'm still drowning in the stuff..

I can live with it.. except the ones that come in languages I don't read.. I wish I could find a filter that would delete anything that wasn't english automagically. I don't really understand why spammers think they're gonna get what they're after by sendin' stuff to people who can't read it.. somehow I've managed to get on a *dutch* spam list.. rofl. it's startin' to make me rethink that whole I hate to change my e-mail address thing.. it's the ones that use a different alphabet that annoy me most, the whole no I don't want to download the language pack before you can even get to the delete button.. do they think after all that I'm gonna click their link?

I installed mailwasher today, but I didn't get comfortable with it yet.. saturday afternoon is a slow mail time spamwise and in general so there's not been a lot of opportunity to get familiar.

I use Spamnix with Eudora, which is based on the Spam Assasin engine, so most of mine is filtered out for me. I probably get around 20-30 a day at my home email and around 200-300 at my work email.
 
i only get 1 about every month, always the same one too, no matter how many times i block it i still get people wanting me to watch a 17 year old make love to a horse😕

I check mrcodedude@yahoo.com like once every other day. It's sad 🙁

 
We have our own email server which hosts domains for 3 car dealerships and 2 truck dealerships. I started a SPAM log...for the month of May alone it blocked over 2200 SPAM emails. For myself, my hotmail account probably gets between 30-50 a day...it's really a never ending battle.:|
 
I get a ton, recently its gone from maybe 10 a day to over 30 every day. Usually closer to sixty.

This has happened not only to me, but to my parents and sister, as well as several other people I know who are all on my ISP. My dad forwarded me some messeges from a mailing list hosted by our ISP with people complaining about all the spam all of a sudden. One of them suggested a program to get rid of it. I had tried mailwasher (filters didn't work), SAProxy (worked GREAT, but used WAY too much memory and crashed all the time) and finally this last one. It's a learning filter, since I've been "training" it Saturday, it's caught just about all the spam I get.

I can't remember the name though. PM me if you're interested and I'll link you to the site when I get home, I remember it being free under the GNU, so maybe it's on sourceforge.
 
I keep my own mail server running for just this purpose (that, and i'm a control freak.) The mail for five domains come into 4 pop accounts on my web hosting provider. From there, my mail server polls the accounts, then distributes the messages to individual mailboxes (IMAP). The nice thing is that my web host uses spam assassin, and my local mail server uses ORDB to pretty much filter out anything that could annoy me, or my users. This setup is also nice since I can take my local mail server offline and not have to worry about losing email as my web host is still recieving it.

That said, counting the messages which are automatically dropped for scoring too low with spam assassin, and being on the open relay lists, I get about 80+ pieces of spam per weekday. only about 20 a day on the weekends.
 
i not crap get like 70 spam emails every day, im sick of it....one of those sites that "say" there not giving your email out to third party sites lied. I hate it, i think i might have to change my email, but i dont wanna do that, i need some kinda filter, i mean i dont even bother checking my email its so hard sorting junk from what is real email...:|:|
