Mail checkpoint

[cjsmith]

I've cleared out the spam-backlog in my personal mail account and have responded to everything I found that seemed to want a response. If I didn't reply it's because the mail is gone -- please send again or comment here.

(Even with aggressive filters I get about ten pieces of spam to every piece of mail I need to read, and about 90 pieces of spam to every one I need to reply to. My 'd' key gets awfully quick right after I come home from a trip.)

Wow, it feels good to have THAT done.

How many a day? Behind aggressive filtering I get about a hundred spam a day. Wish I could improve the filter, but it's catching probably ninety percent -- pretty darn good.

I'd say total spam is ~ 40 - 50 / day. Not running any filtering other than virus scanning on my Outlook client at the moment.

Wow. And you have the address on a web site? Still? I'm getting more than a thousand a day outside those filters. I wonder if your web site isn't linked to often...?

I think what you're wondering is a tautology. ;-)
