    Anyone else notice the volume of SPAM is going down?

    I'm really starting to see a downward trend in my daily load of bullshit e-mails.

    Anyone else notice this with theirs?

            I dont know... ive been seeing a rise in the cheezy "free cable TV" and "banned CD" type spams. True though, less porn spam.

                  mine has been WAY down since Christmas Eve Day - surprised me, I expected it to be back at it's usualy 300-400 a day level again January 2nd but so far it's still way down.

                  Why is this? Can't just be spammers taking a long holiday season - is it the CAN-SPAM law going into effect as well?

                      yeah the penis pills and patches is now the worst, more than porn sites.

                      more money in penis pill fraud these days than porn - what program are all these mainstream spammers with the bogus pills etc affiliated with?

                        My spam has quadrupled over the past 2 months.
                        1/3 of it is for cyalus.
                        I have no fucking clue what cyalus is.
                        1/3 has paris hilton written in it somewhere usually with intentional typo's.
                        I wouldn't fuck paris hilton with Serges cock.

                        and the rest is regular crap... penis enlargement, mortgages, etc..

                                  I'm afraid that the volume will pick up once spammers find out that there's a 120 day grace period prescribed by law for the FTC to get its act together and issue regulations. There's a comment period after the proposed regs are featured in the Federal Register.

                                    I'm running spamassassin on my mail servers, and it gets like 95% of the crap, and moves it into my spambox. Havent noticed the #'s going down though.

                                    I highly recommend it.

                                        ehh, i dunno about that bro. i'm still getting hammered with this shit and i know with this new law they're suppose to have a
                                        title that suggests that it's porn, but they sure as hell dont.

                                        one thing i've noticed is that the cocksmokers check if you actually
                                        opened the mail by inserting like a tiny invisible image that
                                        forwards to a script that tracks which e-mails opened and
                                        which didnt. the fucked up thing is that even if you try to delete
                                        it, outlook opens the preview and they know you've opened
                                        it so they spam you some more.

                                        damn these fucking spammers!

                                          now it's the damn jlo/ben tape
                                          what will be next?

                                            Porn is waaaaaay down. But the small money bullshit is waaay up. I guess the filters are getting wise to the porn tricks and links since all the small time mailers start with porn.
                                            I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                                1/3 of it is for cyalus.
                                                I have no fucking clue what cyalus is.
                                                1/3 has paris hilton written in it somewhere usually with intentional typo's.
                                                I wouldn't fuck paris hilton with Serges cock.

                                                and the rest is regular crap... penis enlargement, mortgages, etc..

There's a comment period after the proposed regs are featured in the Federal Register.
                                                        The 120 grace period was removed from the final draft that bush signed.
