Lol, only 4,000 spam emails? I get that many every hour… ;) just kidding. I do get about 300/day though. Luckily most of them are caught by Gmail and put directly into the spam folder. I never get more than 20/day spam that make it to my inbox.
The solution to spam is: use forwarders and you will never receive spam again. It takes some time to set them up, but I’m using them for some time now and don’t receive any spam to my new email accounts.
Although I don’t forward to Gmail anymore because Gmail has a limit in the number of aliases it allows, you could forward to any email address and identify and delete spam sources at will.
Man, and I thought I had i bad with a couple of hundred messages a day. Carl, you definitely become a target when you get to where you are today. Jealousy gets the better of some people and they wnat to bring you down with an attack like that.
Dont let it get to ya mate. Keep up the great work.

It seemed to be more of an attack. All the emails came from one IP address.

Actually, it’s more of an attack because almost all of the emails came from only one IP.

I would be willing to wager that 95% of all emails are of the spam variety. I know I am bombarded each day with thousands of emails.

I agree.. Once your status has become loftier then attacks would probably hoard you from anywhere
