35 spams per day

My personal email box, weekly average. Is anyone doing better?

Here is how to measure this statistic. In OSX Mail, set Trash to delete messages 7 days old. Trash spams daily. After a week, you can determine the running average at any time by seeing how many are in Trash and divide by 7.

# of spam, probably a lot
# of spam that gets thru, maybe one a week, probably more like one a month

Wow! That beats me. You might end up #1 in that competition.

I get over 100 spams per day (and thank God for SpamFire). It's an unfortunate result of having created web sites since 1993 (all of which have my e-mail address on them somewhere).

However, with my G5 1.6, I can filter that spam super fast!
