Thoughts anyone? Karl mentioned this in my security/IA class this morning. All I can say is that I'll miss the opportunities where I could help a Nigerian prince with his inheritance. :(

Stop fucking going off-topic. I swear to god I will ban both of you.

Back to the topic: Has anyone with hotmail accounts or anything of the sort noticed the decrease in spam? I haven't been getting spam to my mst email address for quite some time now but that's probably because the domain is new.

EA project. It is pretty big. Ben isn't going to do it though because we get to drop one homework.

Berto. No I haven't.

On my real ISP account (@kc.rr.com) I've seen more spam getting through my bayesian filter. On my personal accounts (@benmurrell, @...) I've seen less spam overall.

I didn't start getting spam to my MST account until this news came out.

Now I get like 3-4 per day.

The Gmail account I use for somewhat iffy sites used to get 8-10 spam messages in the spam folder everyday. Now it's 1-3.
