Spam - how much do you get?

In my personal gmail account, I have 104 in my spam folder for today. Not too much gets through into my mail inbox.
If I include all of my email addresses, which are used for business (9), I get about 500 per day.
Gmail does an excellent job of filtering though. Not much gets through at all, and so far I've only had a couple of occurrences where something was flagged as spam but wasn't.

I might get a couple a week on my main email account. Can't say the same for my secondary account. It gets more than enough as I use that account for random things here and there. 99% of it gets moved to the spam folder though so it isn't that bad. Once it gets bad enough, I will just stop using that account and create a new one.
No idea. I haven't logged into Gmail in a long time. On my Mail App I haven't had spam show up since 2007. So zero as far as I'm concerned.
Spam free : ) Back when I was young and stupid, I had a hotmail account. Even though I didn't get very much spam in that address, I abandoned it when I got sick of hotmail in general and the forwards that relatives still send there. I get a little bacon every now and then, but it all lands in a gmail account created specifically for semi-wanted email.
Almost none. That's what I love about GMail, it filters spam and send them to a folder you wouldn't even think about opening.
Yeah, Gmail does an exceptional job at filtering out the spam. I don't think a single piece of spam has hit my inbox, ever.
And when I do check my spam box out of curiosity, there's only a handful, about 0-1 a day on average.
As for the tinned stuff, maybe only when I go out camping.

now and again i'll get ads from places i've ordered books, or high $$ items from but it's not really spam.. sometimes i want to see them. sometimes i don't.
in both my Yahoo and Gmail accounts i have barely gotten any spam. most of it you could unsubscribe from back in the day, and you can set rules to bounce.
with Mail, Safari AdBlock, and Pop Up Blocker, i get only what i want to see

I get about 10 per day. I have a machine at home that handles spam / virus checking for my emails
Has Mailscanner, Spamassasin and Clam Av all combined together. If it finds spam email, it tags the Subject as SPAM! and i create a rule in mail saying anything in the subject with SPAM! gets deleted.

Prob 10-15 a day hit my spam folder in gmail, none on the inbox...
At my corporate account I filter out 400-500 a day and maybe the users get one or two every couple of days hitting their inbox...
Cheers.

According to Gmail, I have 486 in the past 30 days. At least that is what is sitting the spam folder, and Gmail says it automatically deletes spam after 30 days. I only get 1 or 2 every couple of months that makes it through their spam filter.
When I go grocerry shopping I tend to pick up about 8-10 cans. It goes with everything!
(eh, about 3 or 4 a week, mostly from sites that I technically registered on, but they dont have a feature to stop the damn spam)

Spam, bacon, sausage and spam. Spam eggs, and spam. Lobster Thermidor and Spam.
