Wow. I wish I was only getting 10 spam a day.
I have two email addresses that are protected by MailGuard.
this one, and my personal account.
account spams
-----------------
#1 104
#2 86
'snuck thru' 67
total: 257
I also use Cloudmark SpamGuard for outlook, so most of those
that 'sneak thru' are filtered out by that. only about 5-10 a
day are actually in my 'inbox', but I still have to search
through the quarrentined messages and pick out the false
positives -- about 5 a day.
As for collusion with spammers? I don't think that I even
need to answer that obviously flame-bait-laced comment.
No ISP in their right mind would collude with a spammer, as it
is a financially detrimental move.
