The honeymoon was nice, but i’ve started to get spam at my main Gmail account. It’s only a few per day A few weeks ago i only got one or two a day, but i just cleared 17 from today that were tagged as Spam. Fortunately, Gmail is properly catching and tagging the Spam as such. So far. I don’t recall any spam slipping into my Inbox, but there may have been one or two crafty messages it couldn’t identify. The thing that kills me is that they’re all basically the same—a jumble of English words with the same ad for drugs attached as an image. There’s got to be a way a computer can figure out that’s spam, if i know it’s spam just by the nonsense name and subject with an attachment. Not that i’ve really had to worry about this—no false positives so far (i don’t think), and they’d all evaporate after 30 days. It just nags me to see a number next to the Spam label.

Still, props to Gmail for being the easiest to use and most spam-free email account i’ve ever had.
