Before I moved to Washington, I was getting 50-75 a day. I was in Washington for over 3 years. When I came back to Santa Cruz, I signed back on with my old ISP using the same nick since it was still available. When I set up my email account and downloaded new email......Yep, over 8000 emails and all of them spam, some of them pretty nasty spam that could have potentially caused problems, some nasty virii. It seems my ISP never deleted my original account and just reattached me too it when I came back. 3 years worth of spam, OH MY!!!
Needless to say, I asked them to delete that account and continue to use my own server account. On that one, I use 3 different email addy's and, surprisingly, receive an inordinate amount of spam at the seiv addy. I seldom see it, however, as I use a spam filter (GFI Mail Essentials) and have it set to delete weekly. I occasionally check to make sure it is not catching legit emails.
