How much Spam per day do you recieve?

[jnuts]

I had 167 yesterday, from 4 different email accounts. Most were caught, but about 20 were not. I'm about ready to host my own email server so I can use some better filtering tools.

none

I've got 1,639 since August 2. I use SpamAssassin to move them to a Spam directory so they don't bother me that much. I think it's kinda funny to watch them pile up.

I barely get any at my home address but I get 30-40 a day at work.

In two of my accounts about 50 a day. In my other account almost none.

At Yahoo mail, by default email from Elite Fitness goes in the "bulk email" folder. You all wanted to know this.

You have to change the setting to allow for the e-mail to get thru to your "IN" folder.

On my hotmail account, two junk mails in the inbox and one in my Junk folder every five minutes or so.

probably upwards of 200/day on all my email accounts combined....probably more actually....

0-10 per week and zero at my hushmail account.

I love the spam preferences @ hushmail.com, even free accounts can create a human authenticator to stop all bs email from getting to your inbox!! That Rocks, because it stops about 50 emails a week. Most of them are gaymillenium.com setup for me by AnabolicMD - I got his IP from Gay millenium and cross referenced it with mods here to be sure.

one time i remember having like 500 junk mail received. Too much junk jamming up in my e-mail book is just a pain in the ass.

I have a few different e-mails and have had them for well over 5 years - they are all out on the net, in chat boards, on the newsgroups, etc.
I also own a few domain names and have a few other things out there that get the addresses about.

Also, awhile back I was signing up to gambling sites so that I could read their code to see if there were any security holes.

After all of that, I was getting about 500 spam a day (I have my accounts all setup to forward into one central account).
I changed a few settings and setup a series of filters - including SpamAssassin in there.

As a result, I'm down to about 100-150 a day now and they are nearly all caught by SA. Off the 15 or so that get through everyday (it would be better than that, but I lowered the aggressiveness of the spam filters for a good reason), probably 14 of those get caught by Mail.app on my laptop.

All in all, I don't pay too much attention to it.
I pay more attention at work where I have written code specifically to trap spam there - it is also key to make sure that the servers aren't being used as relays (easy enough, but it is harder if someone on the inside of the firewall authenticates into it).

I have a stats page up on my website that tracks how many messages and at what hours they come - I like stats.

probably 3 or 4. The subject line always reads "get it up".
