I too get very little spam sent TO my gmail account. We were getting dozens of bogus registrations daily on our forum from entities with gmail accounts. If allowed to register, they spam the heck out of the forum with pr0n posts. On Dec 11, 2008, at 12:22 PM, Steve Kelsay wrote: Strange. I have not had any problems whatsoever with spam on Gmail, and I use it voraciously. The spam, filters they have in place seem to have protected me very well. Are you referring to spam being sent TO you, or to someone else using your address?

Gmail is, or has, become the mail account of choice with spammers. I run a forum for my wife, and we had to ban registrations from gmail accounts. Pity Google does nothing (that I know of) about the abuse.
