Have we been following this? "Global spam e-mail levels suddenly fall"

Posted by not2fast Jan 6 '11, 10:19

I have noticed this myself. A few months ago, I started marking my spam folder as read to see how many would accumulate in a week before Yahoo purged them.

It was over 800 when I started, but it rarely gets over 250 now.
