impress your girlfriend and win uk



Impress your girlfriend and win the UK Lottery!

Is it just me or is SPAM getting worse?

I have used Yahoo! mail for over 9 years now (really, only 9 years?),

and through much of the beginning of the rise of spam, the filters

they used were great and I never really had to deal with the drivel

which comes along with Internet mail. However, over the last few

months it has gotten increasingly worse.

Oh sure, the majority of the spam is caught by their filters and it

lands in my spam folder which I occasionally scan for mail which ended

up there by mistake. However lately I mark at least 20-30 mail entries

as spam a day. I'd think that by marking it spam, that I am "helping"

teach the filters, but I'm starting to doubt that more and more. Now

granted, the spammers of the world are getting more and more savvy but

come on now! If spam can't get through to my work email inbox, then it

shouldn't get through to my Internet account either.

Hmm... perhaps since I work at a company which our main money maker is

a spam blocker, that should shed some light as to why I don't get any
