Q: how many spam messages land in your gmail box?
You are currently browsing articles tagged spam.
Ya know a while back when I said I would quit purging my bulk folders, to see who would accumulate the most spam in thirty days, Yahoo or Gmail?
Well, as of today here’s where we are:
Yahoo bulk folder: 976
Gmail spam folder: 2,4282,441
other Gmail spam folder: 2,992 (this is the one I use for blogging)
Don’t know what that means. Probably, in the grand scheme of things, not much (&)
I know it’s probably all kinds of wrong, but I’m watching two of my e-mail accounts – a gmail and a yahoo – to see who gets the most spam. (what? Doesn’t everyone have multiple e-mail accounts? I have five gmail accounts, I think)
Right now, gmail has 1,768, and Yahoo! is sucking wind with only 355.
But to be fair, Yahoo only has two weeks worth, okay, really only ten days, so I’ll need to keep an eye on it until they both get to their max 30 day limit.
Riveting, eh?

I feel so… growed up.
I’ve got my first pingback spam!
Yeah, don’t click any of the pingbacks. Â Looks like they hit about six of my entries, I need to go nuke them and ban the IP and all that crap. Â But I was busy watching Aeon Flux (Charlize? Rowr) so I haven’t done anything yet.
Funny that I have spam filters all over the comments, but all these pingbacks get through. Â Huh.
Update: banned the IP, and deleted the buggers. Â That’s too easy, not nearly satisfying enough. Â Next time I’ll find a way to involve a flamethrower and grenades.
