AHHH Spam Emails Gone Wild
 

So I usually get alot of spam emails, but I never really knew how much I got. So i performed a test, only deleted the important emails for one week. I didnt even go the whole 7 days, 6 days in I hit the milit of 999. Thats right, I get a ton of use less spam mail.

Time to delete!!!!

Linkage!: www.gmail.com

That amount of spam actually exists without editing the picture in Photoshop or any other image editor? Wow, that's one spam problem...

Do you often give out your e-mail to random sites or post it online?

bah, any commercial emailer will cut off these spams: gmail, yahoo, hotmail, email.com ...

i got like 10 or 15 spam per day related to bigger sausage... that is strange that they don't provide any solution for the opposite btw...

i also get the viagra variety... they try to write viagra in a different way each time... funny.

the most popular one is by far the "free Vista Absolute"... so if you calculate, Vista is shitter than Viagra and Whiners !

Using Gmail has cut off 95% of the spam I have

Gmail rules. Ever since switching to Google's email alternative, I've hardly received any spam at all. Go Gmail!

"bigger sausage?" haha - I like the way you put things nexialys :P. Yea, I use Gmail for pretty much everything I do - I just like them to my Pop3 e-mail accounts so I can send and receive e-mails from my domain e-mails.

I have a Gmail account but really don't use it much. I use Spamcop. But - Spamcop puts suspect spam in a 'hold' box for review which I then have to delete. I've used SC for several years and I never get 'good' mail in the filter so it's a daily 'chore' to visit the spamcop site and delete the spam. I can't find a way to make the spam in the box just delete its self (so to speak).

Can anyone tell me - Is this the way Gmail works (puts spam in a special mailbox for review), or is it that they just don't accept the spam (or at least most of it) at all?

Gmail shuffles spam into a "Spam" folder. You can then sift through it, empty it, or do nothing and Gmail will automatically empty it every {x} days.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up playing with Gmail a bit yesterday. I was hoping Gmail might have a better way of identifying spam, or at least some of the most obvious spam, and not accepting it at all.

I guess it's not that big of a deal. I get well over 100 spams a day. With all the google space if it rolls off spam older than 30 days that will probably work.
