Per day around 1800-2500 messages from over 100 Mailingliste (mainly Debian) and 50-8000 Spams + 10-150 Viruses. > I daresay somebody like Rasmus gets WAY more than that, though he may > never have bothered to check the pre-spam-filter number :-) :-) > I am confident that all the PHP net archives listing my email about > 50,000 times are a source of a not insignificant portion of these. if I use <http://www.google.com/linux> for searching "linux4michelle" I find me arround 60-90.000 times. > And this is certainly not the first time this issue has come up, not > even the first on this list, much less on all the lists I'm on.
