How much spam do you get every day?

    I read an article somewhere recently that the number of spam emails per person has gone down. I don’t think that applies to me.

    I get about 70-80 spam emails a day and most of them are either about pills, software or phishing
    what about you guys?

    I get nearly zero because of Gmail. Its probably 1-2 per week i guess. I try and unsubscribe from as many unwanted newsletters as possible to reduce clutter.

    Also, whenever i sign up for something that i think will send me ads, i use an alternate email address.

    I get about 2 to 3 spams per day.

    To avoid spam, I use different mail addresses :

    One for for junk mails, list subscription and account registration.
    One for more serious purposes.

    I think when you sign up for an email account, the provider should offer you a special email address that you use for possible spam sites.


    alternative:

    automatically

    I get about ~100 a day[Yahoo Mail], ranging from Jobs to loans to dating services. I made a new account at hotmail as it was getting very hard to keep track of genuine messages among all that crap :)

    50-100 a day (yesterday: 72), depending. Thats just the stuff that gets through the spam filter on the server and in the built-in junkmail filter in my Mail App.

    I've had the e-mail for about 6 or 7 years and always used it for public websites - safe to say if you send me a personal e-mail to that account it will get missed.

    I use to get a load of spam but I went through every single email to look for the option to never send me an email again for up to a month! It did work and I only get about 5 spam emails a day. :)
