Is your spam load way down?

[JoeH]

Just barely noticeably down on my university email account I use for most things. Actually increased on my verizon.net account that I only give out to a few.

Here's why the spam level dropped:

Spammer ISP McColo was cutoff from its upstream ISPs on or about Tuesday 11 Nov 2008.

E.g.,

and

but, spammers are adapting...

It takes guts to admit that

No fear. And AOL really does have a pretty good filter.

I guess I could add that my .mac also gets very little spam. But then that's pretty much been the case all along.

Mine is way down, especially from the Russians.... I use SpamSieve, so spam's not much of a nuisance, but it's nice to see the load drop significantly.

Thanks for the comments. Mine has dropped from about 60 a day to less than 10, maybe less than 5. Now that I think about it, it seems to have dropped over the past couple of weeks. Its just that one of my business accounts is very slow this past several days, so it has me worried. Might be just a coincidence.
