Drastic reduction in spam e-mail

[merc_man]

Has anyone else noticed the huge reduction in spam e-mail in the past couple of months?

I know someone (in the States I believe) was arrested over it but even though I read at the time that these people were largely responsible for a huge amount of spam I didn't think the reduction would be as noticable as this.

Either that or yahoo has improved filtering.

Huge reduction since Christmas has passed - in the 2 months to run up, get loads of emails, but to be fair, mostly from subscribed services. Unsubscribed as it was getting a bit much in December, now my mailbox is looking a bit empty! Might have to re-subscribe!

Actually I've had a huge increase in spam, so I must be getting yours! the latest seems to be spam from (apparently) my own email address, so if I block it then it blocks any emails sent by me from discussion groups or 'reply all' etc.

If they do catch these spammers I hope they get life imprisonment.

I am getting more spam than ever about american property for sale or auction.

Happened back end of November SPAM was quiet for a few days then got steadily worse again.

I've been getting loads in my hotmail, but that's mostly my fault for using my main email address to sign up for porn...

Do people still sign up for porn?
