How much junk mail do you get?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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!)

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.

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.

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..

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.
