   Decrease in spam lately?
  Has anyone else noticed a large decrease in the rate of spam lately? I have a spam trashcan i use to train SpamAssassin on occasion. I noticed it's growth has slowed to a trickle in the last few weeks. Not that i mind or anything!   
  Just the opposite, for me. GMail's been starting to leak.   ;  I've been getting a major spike in spam as well. I often get 3 or 4 copies of the exact same message sent at the exact same time, which is bloody annoying - especially since I have several mailboxes, and each box gets hit multiple times.Makes me want to go get all Boondock Saints on someone's ass.   ;  I've been getting gmails with just images of text on what stocks to buy, or empty emails with said images attached.  It's bloody annoying.   ;  I've started receiving Japanese spam in my GMail spambox... I suspect it's because my Sloplifter game is starting to become popular in Japan (I get about 120 downloads a week from there) and so their spambots are trolling my site.I can't read the spam, so I don't know what it's selling. Every time I delete it I worry it's some sort of fan letter promising me nubile Japanese girlfriends, but Babelfish always tells me it's obscene spam selling me things. [crying]   ;  I had the same dramatic decrease in spam a month or two ago.  Before then I got 5 to 20 daily, now I get 1 or 2 per week!  Could be some ISP thing going on.  I'm on comcast.   ;  I noticed a massive decrease in spam recently.. but it turned out my domain had expired so the address they were sending all the spam to didn't exist.   ;  I get spam but I am no longer certain it's trying to sell me anything nowadays. It's just random gibbirish.;  I get spam about pirated software and lic3nsed meedss 4sale oonline for chee@p. It's been increasing, but the spammers seem to have found my university's mailing lists [sad]   ;Quote:Original post by AinokeaI get spam but I am no longer certain it's trying to sell me anything nowadays.
