Seems the amount of spam my mail system kicks out every day has grown enormously.

(5,364 posts)As if the 'Do Not Call' registry has subsided. The number and variation of PBA type charities has sure swelled as well. In 9 years on the net, I've only had one "cold call" spam email.

(3,744 posts)My main email is almost unbearable. I use Mailwasher or I would try to trash the account except I own the domain. I average 300 a day with maybe 25 bring legit. I use another web account to keep in contact with most friends as their spam filter is way better. Gotta find another provider that does better filtering.

(12,417 posts)This is through my gmail account and I do not know what I would do without the filters. I still, every now and then, feel like I should go through the spam to see if any legitimate mail got pulled. As short a time a maybe two or three months ago I was seeing less than 25 a day.
I'm getting 20-25 spams a day!
