| 1167739 | 2011-01-06 19:04:00 | It would appear spam levels are finally falling more here (www.bbc.co.uk) | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1167741 | 2011-01-06 21:06:00 | I also saw a drastic reduction in spam on my Gmail account but I also think the spammers are having a bit of a holiday. sarel |

But because of the nature of what I do, I cant turn them off. The only solutuion is for all the worlds ISP's to get together and ban carrying traffic from them. |

I'm also with Telecom but get very little spam through to my Outlook 2010 inbox, however, if I log onto my email account via the yahooxtra website ... literally 100's of the things in the spam folder .... think you have to switch "Spamguard" on in the options for it to work though. |

| 1167748 | 2011-01-07 01:01:00 | I have seen no spam now for several months other than the scam messages offering me jobs or money. Not the ISP, they have options that I can turn on or off for spam, I leave the filtering option off and use Mailwasher to screen the mail instead. My normal account that used to get several hundred a spam a day, nothing now. My second account that I used if I had to sign up for something or on newsgroups etc, used to run upto about a 100 spam a day, now nothing. As mentioned, just the scam messages, nothing else. Hopefully it will stay that way for a while longer. |
