[dba-Tech] Spam level

Wow, that is a long time between email reviews. 

As my email is mostly business of various natures and of course DBA, the
mail count runs 50 to 100 messages a day...many that have to be answered
immediately.

Who doesn't use email these days...even my Mother-in-law, Aunts and Uncle
use it and they are in their 80s.

Hello Guys,

I am shocked when I see that people are still bothered - or even notice -
spam email.

I experience close to 0% spam in my gmail inbox.

I occasionally look in the spam folder and usually see 800 - 1000 or more
emails, but I often do not look there for 6 months in a row.  IOW, I almost
never see spam email.

For those that do not use email, is spam still an issue?  How do you filter
it?  Does it drive you crazy?

Mark
