Ha! I get like 20-50 spam messages in my inbox everyday, and that's using a server-level spam filter.



The blog which doesn't require registration for commenting receives about a hundred spam messages daily also, but we use Akismet which gets rid of it all.

I'm pretty sure I get 100 or so, but I can't be sure. If I don't recognize the sender it gets trashed. If it isn't already in the trash folder anyways. Yahoo does a pretty good job. I only get a couple a week that slips throught and into my inbox.
