Not a single piece of spam a day.

I voted the 50+ option. Usually average 75 to 100+ Emails per day. I look at them and trash!

These people are Americans. Don't expect anything meaningful or... uh... normalcy...

I've got five email addresses I use on a regular basis, and four of them never get junk mail. The other, though, gets a good 150 a day.

Zero on my mac.com addresses. Maybe 5-10 a day on my yahoo address (I use it for all my e-commerce, etc).

I have 3 e-mail addresses that I use regularly and 2 that are checked every now and then. Those two are my hotmail and yahoo accounts that I use only when I need to sign up for something. The others are my .Mac account, my college e-mail address, and my personal address I host on my own server.
My college e-mail address is the only one I get junk mail on. I get a few every day, usually the Viagra ones. Half of them are to an e-mail address that forwards to my address from my job on the school newspaper. All the virus e-mails went to that address too. I wouldn't have gotten any, otherwise. I'll be plenty happy when they move that alias to someone else's account.

One thing that I've noticed is that Mail seems to be losing its effectiveness at catching junk. It started out doing wonderful, but now it misses more than it gets. I also use Eudora to get my mail so that I have a backup in Eudora's format, and it rarely misses a spam message. Right now, it's beating the pants off Mail.

50+, all because of the sobig.f virus. My filter is catching all of it though.

Before Sobig, I was getting about 130 spams/day. Now I am getting over 200. Of course, spambayes stops all but 1 or 2.

About 50ish daily, but SpamAssassin on the server and Mail as my client cleans it up near perfectly. About 1 junk mail every three days somehow makes it through, while not a single legal message has been affected in the two weeks SA has been running.
Sweet!
