I don't get that much spam at all. I think its also the type of
content you view. I have non-programmer, non-linux-using friends that
have about 600 spam messages a month, yet I still only get about 100 a
month (I don't know for sure - I delete them often, and I get maybe 6
a day).
Recently some spam has made it through that's in Spanish (don't ask
why - I really don't know) and then there's some gmail user named
winnie that's either a spammer him/her -self or has got the worst
password security practises imaginable, 'cause this user sends nothing
but spam to me.
Gmail has excellent spam filters, yes, but it's not perfect. I think
it stems from the old saying that if you idiot-proof your software,
the world will just make a better idiot.
