Wow, either its a person that watches the spam or something because it does a really good job blocking the gargage, i have an old account fowarding to it and it does a swell job blocking the spam stuff.

How about you, do you guys have any problems with the spam blocker, do you think its the best of the best?

I've received a few pieces of spam. The filter, however, only blocked one of them.

So far I had only one piece of spam delivered to my gmail account and one false positives caught in the spam section. Overall, I just got one piece of spam total! Laughing

I think gmail has a pretty good spam protection
I never get any span with my gamil account.

actually hotmail's spam filter is ok too
they may be 1 or 2 email that go through the filter occassionally, but that's ok. Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I've signed up in a few things with my new gmail account, but no spam has passed through the filter yet.

cvrk3, you said this: "i hav e not recevied any spam. ofcourse my gmail account has not yet been released public."

And also this: "i get a lot of spam in the gmail account!!"

What a change in just seven days...
What have you done in those days? Wink

Hey antioco2003,
You have great "eyes" for details. ( i do rememeber your pointing out the correct spanish word for "Eye").
Thanks for pointing out the discrpency. The second message should read as :

" I have lot of spam in hotmail Account. "

Probably now only email id being gmail this error had occured Laughing Laughing

It is something that happens naturally, I simply read the messages and then I realize there's something wrong or in discrepancy.
Please do not think I go through the messages looking for mistakes or something like that Embarassed
