How many spam mails you receive in a month?

I always receive 2000~3000 spam mails to my Gmail in a month.
I want to know is it normal, or strange many?

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.

as soon as i opened a yahoo acc i started to get around 100 to 200 a month,
but most get filtered out now,so i dont have to worry about them
at times like this ,i should have gone fishing 24 hours in a day,24 stubbies in a carton,coincidence.?

I saw a sign that said:-caution small children playing,so i slowed down.then i remembered i am not scared of small children

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.

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.

Vote: I receive few spam mails in a month. (1~9)
Truth: About 10 or so. Thought 1~9 was closer than 10~99.

EDIT: Gmail.

10-99. Sheesshh. I get flooded with them. I must be on a hit list. And these aren't just spam they're scams.
These scammers send me crap about a non-existent British Web Lottery. Hotmail. Go figure. I'm going to Gmail.

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.

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.

That's very nice! How do you make aliases to your inbox?
