Spam tally day five

2004-04-spam-5.gifToday we break the 3,000 message mark on the spam count. 3,274 spams in five days to be precise, of which 847 arrived today. Among them were seven genuine messages - two from mailing lists, two identical messages from the same friend who always sends every email twice (perhaps just to make sure) and three comments on this blog, so none of them were really personal emails (the two from the friend were a multi-person joke). It will be interesting to see whether things quieten down on the spam front over the next couple of days. If they do, I guess that points to the fact that for most spammers it’s a Monday to Friday job. I doubt that they will, though.
