[WikiEN-l] OT gmail spam increase?

[Steve Bennett]

Sorry to post such an incredibly lame off topic. Over the last week,
the amount of spam getting through gmail's filters has gone up hugely
for me. It's coming in through the 5 or so email addresses I have that
forward to the same account in equal measure, so I can't blame one
email address suddenly getting extra exposure. Has anyone else
experienced like this? I was previously getting around 1 spam a day
making it through the filter, but now it's like 10 or even more per
day. Lots of it is a weird, right-justified format, all nonsense text
(jumbled quotations from something or other) whose purpose I can't
divine...

Thanks anyone for any observations, comments etc.

Steve
