cal 6 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I don't mean actually downloading, but before filters and the like get to it? I am getting about 50-70 a day now, usually about 3 or 4 of which are legit Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 None at all. Not a single junk email in over two years. Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 400 - 1000 work related junk mail. But its my fault. Usually messages such as "ping latency has reached the tresshold and a graph" 200 inter office mails that are in Japanese. 100 for viagra because somebody gave out the inter office mail address so something always passes the filters. by the time I have downloaded some there is the same amount of new ones on the server.

cal 6 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Wow. Does your provider get rid of obvious junk, and have you used that same address for over 2 years? (I must change to your provider!) Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted April 5, 2007 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2007 SJ is on the receiving end of at least several thousand junk mails a day, sometimes many more. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Quote: Usually messages such as "ping latency has reached the tresshold and a graph" Hey I got that one! ( maybe) I get about 10 a day. I have always been careful with my mail address though. My other address gets tons. Link to post Share on other sites

(I must change to your provider!) Dunno. I'm very careful with whom I share my address. SJ1 knows, but I've threatened to draw his teeth and nails if he leaks I'm sorry for anyone who has to make their email public. Spam peeves me. Soubriquette gets lots because hers is up on her website. The problem with spam catchers is that they are stupid. Hers screened out 20 orders in the past five days, and my ex-wifes's prevents me emailing my children. Link to post Share on other sites
yamayamayama 2 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thats great soubriquet. I get about 10 proper mails a day and probably 3 times that in junk that I filter out. I remember signing my dad up for a BT address and within days there was a massive amount of junk being sent to it. I found that hard to understand as his address was new and he had submitted it to no-one. Luckily the BT filters filtered it out and he only (mostly) got real mails coming through.

r45 4 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I've noticed a real increase in the volume of Japanese junk mail of late. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Too much. Having none like you sounds incredible soubs, I can hardly imagine it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I get about 20 a day come to my account. It's annoying but I can cope with it. The thought of hundreds and thousands is just scary. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I currently use Norton. This'll be the last year. I get on average 90-120 emails per day. 5-6 legit. mostly stupid stock offers or nigerian fortunes to be recovered. I hate these fkn predators.. Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Mui- I dont find 1000 plus too bad, it makes the important ones stand out when sorting rather than if half the mails were junk. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Rather you than me YellowSnow!! I usually seem to get around 40 junk every day, often exactly the same subject line but sent from a different almost comical (but not funny) name. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Probably 50-100 a day. I think it's hard to avoid them if you have your own website. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I get a few hundred a day. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I usually get about 20. On Monday though I got over 3000 of the same mail come to my account. What's with that? Very annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
