Gmail spam filter failing me.
For some reason, over the past week or two, some clever spammer has found a way to bypass Gmail almost-perfect filtering system. That is to say I have been getting about 5 to 10 spam e-mails each day. Normally and for the past few years, Gmail’s spam filter has been excellent…

GMail fails! Gotta love when the big kids trip and fall on their face.

I guess its okay to poke fun at it, as long as we remember that yahoo or hotmail’s spam filter have never really worked at all. I can live with a few dozen spam emails every couple years as opposed to a few dozen spam e-mails every few hours in those other services.
I hit a soft spot = (
hahah. no softspot. I am a bit irritated with gmail at the moment actually. And your comments are always welcome, you tell it like it is.
Hey so weird! But I just noticed I keep getting spam too and I’m not sure from what! Today I had 6 emails in my spam inbox! I’m new to gmail, but the 4-5 months I’ve had it, I haven’t really gotten any spam, but recently have been.

Yeah mine stopped since I posted this. I have been using the “report spam” button and hopefully that has made a difference. Make sure you use it so it helps with the filtering.
