How many spam emails you receive daily?

Hey, I noticed your comment about Spam[the food], I am totally with you on that one, I don't see how anyone can stomach the stuff...SS

initially i thinks that those cash mails site pays you. i unsubscribed from their site.. but i still receive spams from third party related to those cash mails site.

Blocking reduces spam a lot but I also found out that once you join a site that sends spam they sell your email among their members list to many other sites which also sell the lists again so I keep getting spam from different sites that are not blocked.. endless loop :(

True, and I don't know what can be done about it.

Yes, despite the "privacy" policies that most sites declare i find that many do share your email with other services (that do the same) and you end up with ever expanding spam amount.

I don't receive spam on gmail neither but this is only because i never joined anything with it, just shared it with a few friends.

You can at least check the "from" and "subject" without actually opening the email, this way you are in no danger from viruses, especially with webmail like yahoo and hotmail, if you use outlook or outlook express, you can set it to "download headers only" so you can see 'from" and "subject" without downloading the email itself and can delete it from there or download the genuine ones.. it's just that by deleting your bulk folder without checking you may miss on some important emails from friends/family or notifications from sites like mylot regarding your account.

The problem is I have to check my bulk mail too, it can never be accurate and many genuine emails do end up there, so going through the bulk folder is still a pain. thanks for your input.

Unforunatley I can't find anyway to deal with it, reporting it as spam on the provided link in your inbox may help but I didn't see much improvment. PS. I checked your topic and posted my opinion there, rated the discussion a + too :)

This is really strange, I never see anyone not complaining about spam! So how you do it? or you just don't use your email address a lot? I'm sure if you join 3-4 sites no matter how they claim they don't share your email address you always end up with increasing number of Spam.

Yes that is really annoying, I had this problem with both Yahoo and Hotmail, I find an email from a friend in the bulk folder and I make sure to mark it as Not a spam but I noticed that a few months later an email from the same friend is in the bulk mail folder again :( It happened with more than one friend and I don't know why, so bulk is not really a good solution but at least it helps to sort out emails faster. Thanks for stopping by :)

Not only non spam lands in the bulk folder sometimes mail from some id is permanently blocked. For eg while registering for Mylot i gave a rediff ID and it never delivered the email confirmation mail. tried it twice but failed both times. Finally igave my gmail adress.
