Have you just noticed in the past week or 2, that the amount of junkmail that is getting through, has just gone through the roof??

I don't know about anybody else, but I used to get maybe 10... 15 items a week in my junk email box. Here recently, I get about 10/15 per hour!

Hopefully it's coming through as part of maintenance from MS, but something is definitely different, and I'm curious if anybody else is seeing this. :dunno:

Nope, not that bad here... at least not in the junk mail folder. I think my junk mail settings are lower than default, cuz more does seem to be coming into my inbox lately, but not 10/15 per hour... maybe 5/day?

Hmm... Maybe my first estimate was a bit of a stretch, but somewhere in the 'hood of 5/hour is probably legit.

I wake up to around 30+ items every day, where previously (like I mentioned), I would get somewhere around 10/15 week.

Egh... at least they are getting filtered, but I do feel compelled to scan them, and that's becoming a chore.

No issues with my account. Although, I have had this account since 1997 and never had an issue with it. Now, my Gmail, Yahoo, and .EDU accounts are all getting spammed pretty good.

Yeah huge amounts, I have been getting a ton of Undeliverable Notices from about 5-6 different senders, started all of the sudden, I sent Hotmail a message about it but have yet to hear anything. Went from about 12 junk emails a day to about 60, it is nuts.

QFT. By far the best e-mail service out there.
