| 719978 | 2008-11-13 20:56:00 | On my personal address I used to get about 2 - 5 spam messages a day. Last week I havn't had any. My gmail spam catcher address still gets heaps, but thats to be expected. |

| 719980 | 2008-11-13 21:33:00 | I normally get around 750 pieces of junk mail each day, with about 10 or so getting past the spam filter and into my inbox. However, over the last two days that total has been just 110 and 197, with only two or three reach my inbox. That's a pretty significant drop. Hopefully this is the reason and it stays that way. | maccrazy (6741) | ||

That is just ridiculous 750 per day. Your email address has been seriously compromised. You should consider changing your address. I have have been using the same email addresses for 14 years and it is everywhere but I still only get 3 or 4 spam emails a day. |

| 719982 | 2008-11-13 22:16:00 | Don't get any in my Ihug address, was getting 3 a day at my main gmail address but only to the online spam folder nothing ever gets through to be downloaded and my other gmail gets nothing | gary67 (56) | ||
| 719983 | 2008-11-13 22:20:00 | Home addresses (Gmail) still under control - but my work email address is getting hit with offers of online degrees (5 already today!!) and obviously bypassing the MailMarshall filters on the Exchange server... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 719984 | 2008-11-13 22:39:00 | Well I have recently been getting a lot of spam in German. At least half a dozen a day. They are getting past Xnet's Spam filter but Outlook catches them and puts them in the Junk Mail folder. Sometimes one or two will end up in the Inbox. From memory German spam was sent if your machine was infected with the Sober virus but not sure if these are related. |

There has been a dramatic increase over the last month, so I'm planning on making a few changes that will cut it back significantly. However, there are certain email addresses that I simply cannot change. The spam filter system is pretty accurate, so it's not a huge issue, but it is frustrating all the same. |

| 719986 | 2008-11-13 23:49:00 | Now for the other 25%!! I was wondering why the spam had decreased. |
