I got 1000 (one thousand) spam messages yesterday - up from an average of 30-35 a day. Thank goodness my ISP caught them all. Hope this isn't a new trend.

Do they give you a report on what spam they blocked for you on something? Just wondering how you knew if they were blocked at the ISP level.

I hate spam...I spend so much time trying to reduce it for my clients. Ugh.

Yes, I get a spam report every morning and generally go through it quickly as sometimes something ends up in there that's legitimate.

The company I work for gets about 70 million emails each day, incoming..
on average 90% of those emails are spam.. and they catch 99% of them.

It's freaking amazing!

Hi, I am back from a week of being on a dial-up and have returned to dsl. Wow, now all my spam will load so much faster.

Just a little billboard I did this morning. The gravel is palpable!

I'm getting quite a bit of spam in Chinese now on my gmail account which is only published here on the board:

灌電腦不求人

Anybody else? I can't read it, but I have a sneaking idea what it's about!

Thank goodness I don't get any of that crap!
I've got my spam filters set on "stun" at the server, so very little of the bad stuff reaches me.
