      Overall spam count for Nov: 1738, mostly from China, which is basically one massive spamhaus.

       

      Edit: I should point out that this is what my trap caught. Only 9 actually made it through to my junk box, which also happens to illustrate why I wrote the trap to begin with.

        Only nine.  SMH.  That would be SOOOO nice.  Seventy one so far today for me.  LOL.  And I've given up blocking them, as MSN can only block so many addresses and/or domains.  

         

        My only option?  Chaging my main email from my MSN adress to Gmail, as I get ZERO junk mail at my Gmail address, at least at this point.
