Wow, the pace has really picked up. 12,151 spams in 30 days!

Is that number with some kind of spam filter or is that how many spams the filter is catching.

I don't know how well it works offhand, but a friend of mine once suggested Greylisting.

It is the number of unread spams sitting in my Gmail spam folder, which kills old content as it grows older than 30 days. A couple hundred or so I put there myself because Gmail's filter missed them, but the rest are the filter's work.

Here's my own... I see that my spam received rate has been increasing too:

Oh, and that's in mili-spams received a second. So my current spam rate is nearly 8 milispams a second (which is nearly 29 spams an hour), up from the average of 5 milispams a second (which is 18 spams an hour).
