433222 2006-02-23 21:27:00 With a lot of ISPs filtering it and Mail clients filtering it, How much actually gets into your mail box. KiwiTT_NZ (233)
433223 2006-02-23 22:09:00 Never get spam in my inbox on any of my accounts, although the spam folders get hit.

Accounts at ihug, orcon, gmail, silvertech and in the past with paradise and xtra

433224 2006-02-23 22:14:00 Hmm......percentage wise mine would be quite low, but if I was to hazard a guess on how many I get...about 10 a day.

Have 4 or 5 email accounts, Only one gets hit, and they all seem to come from the same source so setting up a rule to take em out would be simple enough, Just cant be bothered. Delete works fine.

hmmm....just had a squizz in my deleted items folder, 998 items unopened....

433225 2006-02-23 22:18:00 About 50+/day in the gmail account (it's used on forums and for signing up to things) and less than 1/day on the personal e-mail, although I couldn't tell you how many are deleted by the spam filters at the ISP.

433226 2006-02-23 22:28:00 None at all for my personal email with Yahoo.

About 10 -15 a day from the ISP based account at work and I think that's due to the practices of my employer. Or the employer's employees.

433227 2006-02-23 23:00:00 Ah I misread.. I voted 90%+ as I get about 10 real emails a day, and somewhere between 100-250 spam messages...

The spam gets filtered down to about 5ish.. so 33%

433229 2006-02-24 00:15:00 Spam? Whats that?
I have one with my ISP, 1 with Hotmail, 2 with Yahoo and one with Gmail.
None of them gets spam apart from what MSN sends to its users which I cannot block unfortunately.
