Anyone else notice a huge drop in spam lately?
 

Not that I miss it.

I've been getting 300-500+ spam emails a day for as far back as I can remember. In the past few days though things have quietened down to a dull roar. So far today I've seen about 20.

Could the spammers have finally gotten the message that I will never buy anything from their shitty spam emails?

Nah, it must be their week off.

whats your email? i can add you to my list for free.

didn't people say webair has been down alot lately?

I'm so sorry , my bulletproof hosting down again , I'll send ya double amounts next week to somehow compensate ya ! thanks

Spam is strong as ever over here.

lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :Oh crap

now that you mentioned it...
it did drop...

I am receiving more than ever.

Thunderbird keeps me protected

:smokin

That's not what I'm asking here. I too have spam filters in place, that should be the case for everyone, especially those of us running multiple websites and having 30 different email addresses.

I'm just wondering if anyone else is noticing a steep decline in spam lately, that's all. Right now I have 14 emails in my shit bin, that's for the past 5-6 hours or so. Normally I would have about 100 or more over that period of time.

btw, again... I am not complaining. :D

it's just the fact that you are getting so many virus emails, that the spam number look small in comparision.

mine's been much lower recently too

I'm good, as much spam as before

Actually, over this past weekend ONE of my email addresses was having this kind of trouble. I was getting 5-10 duplicates of each email on the server every time my email client did a retrieval. Then at some point on Sunday it all just stopped, and then so did the spam, basically.

Weird.

I just logged into the only mail retrieval for that account and all is clear now, everything is working perfectly..... but hardly any spam.

ba-da-ba-pa-daaaaa..... I'm lovin' it.

bout the same.:(

How many email addresses do you guys use?

I have about 15 that are pretty active.

I have 20 email address that get so much spam in them, but this last weekor so it has really slowed down.
I too have been seeing way less spam than normal.

They're all busy spamming here at GFY!

Not really

drop in spam? not even close

Interesting.

It's down to a trickle here.

I have my email client set to retrieve mail every 20 minutes, and usually each retrieval (from 15+ email addresses) nets me anywhere from 15 to 50 emails, and usually it's 90-99% spam. I have email accounts on servers in Vancouver, London Ontario, Kansas, wherever Google has their servers, and the rest are local.

So it's not due to my ISP or anything.

Hey, all I can do is shrug and hope it lasts. :D

I wish I'd notice a huge drop in my ICQ spams. LOL

I love January 2-8. There is so little spam it's crazy.

Coincidence that internext is around the same time? :1orglaugh

Who knows, perhaps a silence before a storm.

Perhaps some huge spammer had to move his shit.

Happens once in a while I suppose.

nope, still the same for me

No... I've been seeing more spam lately.

most spammers will abuse the same lists as long as they can and then after a while when they don't generate sales anymore they switch to other lists.

I rarely use email... am I weird? :1orglaugh

Not getting any lately.. It's unfair!!!!

Spam owns

I am seeing an increase. I have to redo my filters.

Lots of them on my eudora account.. :(
