Spam
Within the past two years my spam level has gone from an average of 200 a month (6 or 7 a day) to this month, where I just hit 2000 spam. This is getting insane. The good thing is that the gmail spam catcher is getting most of them, and many that that doesn’t get, my mail client grabs. The bad thing is that I used to look through my spam folder on gmail on occasion to make sure that no false positives are getting through. Unfortunately with so many a day, I just don’t look any more and am afraid that I might miss important e-mail. Does anyone else get this much spam? I’ve always been reasonably careful about putting my e-mail out there, but I guess I’m just on enough lists now… There are so many, and I am so busy that I haven’t actually made an effort to see how they are getting to me. My hope is that one of my old school e-mails is forwarding most of it, and I can just shut that forwarding off.
So tell me… do you get 60-70 spam a day, and should I just quit my whining?
