Spam spam spam!

Same here!
But for me Google Mail's spam filter has been a bit of a pain the past few months!

Started not filtering out a lot of the spam, then putting some of newsletters which I read into spam.

And today it put an invite for a job interview into spam! Lucky I checked it before emptying the spam folder!!

OP
Try MAILWASHER FREE.
Just google it. You can Bounce emails right back, eventually the spammers get the message

Spammers don't get bounced mail!

They tend to "steal" email addresses so it's the innocent party that suffers.

That said, Mailwasher has certainly cut my spam filtering down as it views without downloading and I can remove hundred of emails without having to download and read them.

One trick is to give out a spam filter email address that autogenerates an email saying something like "this is an autogenerated email response to a message. Please redirect your email to [EMAIL="somethingelse@myaccount.com"]somethingelse@myaccount.com[/EMAIL] " and then delete.

As the spammer won't receive it (and you won't get the original) that should help.

I find Gmail about 99.5% accurate. It filters maybe 2 emails a month that it shouldn't, and catches 99.9% of genuine spam (if spam can be called genuine). That's good enough for me.

Gmail is very good at catching 99% of it for me. The occasional one gets through with a believable subject or sender, but the Gmail filter soon learns. For other stuff I create specific filters.

You could register for a Gmail account (use a creative username that isn't a regular name so it won't get included in name-lists), forward your mail from your spammed account and have it filtered and sent back, or simply access your mail from the new Gmail account? Or set up your own filters?

buy a website, bounce all emails through it to your private inbox using different email adresses, eg ebay@xxx.com, mse@xxx.com. then you can find out who is selling your email address. once you find that out, a quick threatening email will sort out the problem, well it has for me, and ive been on the same email since 1990

I echo the experiences of others here with GoogleMail, it really does have a very useful spam filtering system.

Since 3rd February I've been inundated by spam e-mails advertising PPi claims, loans, gas engineering courses, debt clearance, Rosetta Stone, injury claims, Optical-Express, life cover and many more. All originate from the U.S.A. and appear to be initiated by a company named UK OfferSource (sic).

It started out with 20 a day but has now reached 60.

Two nights running 1&1's mail servers were down concurrent with this barrage. Literally millions of people must be getting them but the only mention I've found online is of a BBC TV News journalist also receiving them.

I still have my old AOL emails alive. And a little while back one of them started getting 80+ emails a day.

All sorts of crap. Bit of a worry though. Some had my name on??

Which website did i give my name to not long before.. Halfords...

Coincidence or what?

my mail which i have had for 15years clean no rubbish at all started getting junk back last dec and all the junk coming from america amazing how america produces all the rubbish anyway getting around 80 a day starting with, but on a good day can be low as 30.
Still cant see why once confirmed as junk it does not block it even coming into the junk filter i would love it to bounce it into space which would help me out, better yet i would love to send the a email server virus back shut them down now that would be fun
