Is your spam load way down?

[Drew]

Odd, but I've hardly received any spam the last few days in my 4 different accounts. Not bad, but I've also received very few business emails, though some have come in. Odd coincidence? I've checked my server and it seems that nothing is being held back. Is spam for you way down the past few days?

I would say it was down for me also. I use Gmail and their filters are very good, but you can still see what it coming in because it goes straight to the Spam folder. I used to get 15 or so messages a day, and recently it has been well under 10, so maybe a 50% decrease.

I don't use email on my macs, my PC shows no decrease in spam but I am delighted with AT&T's segregation and learning of SPAM. I very seldom get a spam message in my regular mail and I just delete the spam folder without even looking.

I have never had such a great spam filter as my AT&T account. Really.

Way down for AOL, for me.

It takes guts to admit that :-)

Mine is up.

I went probably 4 years without ANY.
Now I get one or two a week.

My spam folder on yahoo, which reflects the last 30 day's spam, currently has 180 messages compared to a typical 300-some over the past year.

supposedly they recently raided one of the biggest spammers and shut him down (sorry, no link)

You're correct. It was within the last 2-3 months. I can't find any archived stories of it quick enough to post anything.

Yep, way down.
