My level of spam has dropped tenfold over the last couple of days, on all my accounts (3 different mailservers) - anyone else noticed anything similar? I'm a bit worried!
No. My spam level is consistent. About 45 per day on grok@vl.
Hmm, my spam level on all email addresses remains steady at 0. Could it be that nobody likes my accounts? :-/
I hear that 60% of email is now spam. Up from 50% last year.
My gmail accounts spam has dropped significantly - though it was never really that high.
The gmail account I made for spam is getting hit pretty hard. The other on has 0.

Mine will steadily drop for awhile and then all of a sudden BOOM it will take off again. Of course I religiously block any spam I receive, so after a few weeks it cuts back. My guess is hotmail only allows me to block so much, so I am just rotating through the assholes.
I get next to none. Am I special or something?
My Gmail account only has 1 spam email in it for like 2 months.

Yes, I have. It happened since I installed Outlook 2003 SP1. New spam blocker pwns j00 l33t 45535.
Used to receive ~20 emails per day, maybe 30-40 even on good days. Then I started filtering certain subject line words. That helped a lot, but didn't solve the problem copletely, I was still getting spam. Since Outlook 2003 SP1 I got only ONE spam, and it's been running for a week now or so. mamazing, no?
Also, my gmail account never received spam. ever. woo. Well, it received a message today that it thought was spam, but was actually not. It was a mailserver error for an email I really sent (mailbox full, gddmit, it said), so I moved it into Inbox and archived it.
The spam I get in my Gmail account is always addressed to Yoni. I got my Gmail invite from Yoni, not sure how spammers got my e-mail though.
