    Had my first spam in ages this morning. Forwarded from my old hotmail account, so obviously not filtered by this but caught by gmail.

    From Abattoir Equipment Supplies, with a dodgy looking attachment.

        The free gifts one from Asda, AA, you name it used to make up a majority of my spam for a couple of months but it seems to have almost completely gone now. 90% of my spam is dating type ones with picture of ladies asking to meet up. It's like a throw back from 20 years ago with dating type spam and mails with files attached. As I say, it defintely comes in ebbs and flows so it's clearly one group behind it. It's too much of a coincidence for multiple spamming groups to latch on to dating, then freebies etc at the same time. These setups must be huge and send an unbeliveably large amount of spam if it's going to everyone in the world multiple times a day.

          a consequence of watching too much online porn IMHO
