It's too much of a coincidence for multiple spamming groups to latch on to dating, then freebies etc at the same time..Leave a comment:

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.Leave a comment:

Yes, it's a pain but it might be worth it in the long run. When I did it, I set hotmail to forward everything to gmail. Thankfully, it didn't forward anything that it had filtered as spam.
