I am now averaging over 1000 a day - most are caught either by my ISP junk filter or SpamSieve. Still annoying since you do have to give them a once over to be sure the odd good one isn't there.

these emails are coming in through my website addy. years ago i didn't have it encrypted which is when this address was culled. my host has spam assassin which was only missing about 6 - 10 a day. before i turned Spam Assassin on last year i was getting 30 or so a day. SA is still on and now the slip through rate has spiked in the last few days. hate to think how many i'd be getting if it wasn't turned on. i emailed the host and was told that sometimes it takes SA a while to figure out a new algorithm to catch the latest workaround.
i'm up to 50 now. still not close to your headache, though.

I feel like spam is getting worse again. Between the work filter and my mail app filter, I was hardly getting any. Now I have at least a dozen a day slip through the cracks.
