With spam filtering on how much spam gets thru to your mailbox a day

492028 2006-10-17 04:27:00 I don't use Orcon's Spam filter, I prefer to recieve all my emails, as I'd rather not have a legit email stopped by the spam filter. Up to a few weeks ago, I was receiving ~3-4 a week, now it's more like that amount per day! roddy_boy (4115)
492029 2006-10-17 04:51:00 I find mailwasher does not work too well. When you blacklist domains those don't appear again, it appears the guy is able to obtain new email addy all the time. Nomad (952)
492030 2006-10-17 05:05:00 Hardly any. With Poptray.

Since most of the spamming isps / whatever are blacklisted :D

Probably get maybe 2 max a week with gmail (which is my TradeMe email box)

492032 2006-10-17 06:38:00 Perhaps one or two a week - Orcon Oldferix (5581)
492033 2006-10-17 07:39:00 I have an Orcon address that gives me one or 2 a day. It's on a website, and when i can't be bothered with it, i divert the address to junk@millerton.co.nz which is a mailbox i keep full just for bouncing spam back from :)

As for ISP spam, i don't get any through my paradise address, because i have told them to use my personal email address instead, and they send me dribble about movies and stuff maybe once a week. As this is unsolicited, i consider this spam.

I've yet to have a successful bait as of yet... Only tried once so far...

492035 2006-10-17 08:37:00 You forgot to put in "0" which is what I get. JJJJJ (528)
492036 2006-10-17 08:58:00 Ihug keeps sending me really odd spam..

It says:

Dear Gibler,

Please pay your damn bill right now or we will cut you off from the Internet.
Your account is now $1262.76 overdue.


What is annoying about the spam is that it is sent everyday to me. I'm hoping it will go away... :D
