Well, it seems that foreboding has fallen over the calm world that I call home. ZS forums and I are now best buds. (I think that zombies have less cred than nukes as a doomsday, but slightly more than aliens...)

| Discussion starter | I receive about 3-4 spam messages per day in gmail. Currently I have about 400+ spam messages in the spam folder. Dunno why. I never gave my email address on a public site. Funny enough, about 80% of the spam I receive is about penis enlargement (how rude!), while the rest is usually Rolex clocks ads. |

| Commentator | My yahoo mail is saturated with spam. This is because I only use it for sign-ups. The spam is so bad in the time it takes me to navigate from the sign-up site to the yahoo webmail box, the 'confirm email address' message is usually beneath 20-30 spams. My gmail is clean. My university email account is spammed rather heavily, my theory is that some programmer made a program that attaches random combinations of letters and numbers to the domain name my university uses. |

| Eligible for a custom title | Depends on the e-mail address. My main personal e-mail address receives about 5 per day. My other personal e-mail addresses under the same domain receive less. My webmaster e-mail addresses (especially of my big site Talk Budgies) combined receive about 30 per day or more. I have two Gmail e-mail addresses. One receives almost no mail at all and the other I never check. When I do check it there's literally thousands of spam and junk e-mails. My guess would be it receives at least 100 per day. I have no idea how it gets them as I've never given it out to anyone or any website. ![]() |

| I get no spam from my ISP. They have very good filters. However, I too, get saturated on my Yahoo account; about 500 a month. GMail; for me; has very few spam, which does manage to get filtered. |

| Discussion starter | I get thousands per month. If I empty my spam folder, it'll be back up to 300 in a couple of days. But, Gmail does catch it all, so it's not a big deal. I do sign up for stuff with my email, so that's probably why. |

| I get about 10-19 a week, most are about rude advertisements and lottery, and fraud mail. I'm really thinking of opening another mail account so that all that spam+newsletters and sites I register to are sent there. |

| I don't get any spam emails. Each website, company or person that requires me to specify an email address gets their own, so I have around 30 alias addresses feeding into one inbox. Once I have finished dealing with that website/company/person, I delete the alias. |
