I've noticed an increase in spam email, too. An order of magnitude!
Altho I've got 2 or 3 spam filters on my email (depending on the
address) that send the spam to /dev/null, I always check the count,
just out of curiousity. "debora????" has been incredibly prolific
trying to push scam stocks the past week or so.

Monday morning I had over 150 spam email (fortunately, sent to /dev/null)
Even then, 3-5 still got thru 3 layers of filters!


Think Cloudmark. When I get the occasional spam, I block it. Cloudmark reports
back to its server and that spammer gets blocked from *all* user's inboxes.
Since I've signed up, I get on average 6 spam mails a day; at least 5 of the 6
are properly identified as spam and maybe 1 message a day slips though. As for
the hundreds of spam messages the average user seems to get every day, I don't
even download them... I assume because of the Cloudmark database.

This was the only filter I found that was able to nuke those sneaky little gifs
that sell Viagra, etc. Now my only message rules are those distributing my
email to various folders.

As an added plus, I don't get phishing messages any more, either.
