Forwarding here adn my spam level has certainly not decreased in any way - 7 pages this morning!

Dave- yes I mean I'm getting much less Spam!

As Daron is still getting the same volume, I must assume that one of my Email providers (probably Lineone, as thats my biggest usage) has improved its Spam filtering.

Now down to 420 Spam messages, from a max of about 800 in the Autumn, and 600 at Christmas.

A day!

That's rediculous. I don't get any proper spam. The only stuff I receive (maybe 2 a day) I can trace back to some product I've bought or service I used and a simple "click here to unsubscribe" stops it.

Fairy nough, as they say that can only really be a good thing.

No, not a day Spamarrest keeps messages it identifies as Spam on its system for 7 days, to allow genuine senders, or the subscriber to authorise the message and allow it through. So, my current 420 spam emails are for 7 days.

I think you have been very lucky! I've had 2 of my email addresses for over 7 years, and they have built up quite a lot of spam; also the Lineone and NTL ones get a lot of automatically generated messages, which use randon email addressing.

Beware of the "Click to Unsubscribe" links. Some of the more persistent spammers will harvest these responses and add them to "known to be genuine" email lists. Unless you are sure you are responding to a legitimate organisation, its best to just ignore messages.

I've had my main e-mail address for over 12 years, but I am on the e-mail preference service (the e-mail version of the telephone preference service) which seems to cancel out a lot. Other than that the Spam filters just remove everything.

Interesting- never heard of that one!

I didn't realise there was an email one. You got a link D?

Never heard of it myself, but I'm signing up on it now - I get 3-6 pages of spam through a day!

A lot of it though is to X at @tekguru.co.uk
