More spam?

I logged in this morning to find half a dozen emails in my inbox, and 100 in the spam folder. I don't remember the ratio being this bad for a long time, maybe years. Has something changed?

You could try the spam, spam, spam, ham & eggs. That's not got much spam in it.

Richard, do you use Yahoo mail? The last time they made a so-called upgrade to their email program, I started getting bunches of spam in an account which I had never used.

It is Yahoo. They are segregating the spam accurately: I rarely find spam in my inbox, and only very rarely does a scan of the spam folder find something that shouldn't have been there. I'm just surprised by the volume of spam that's floating around. They arrested a couple of big spammers a few years back, and the volume went down quite a lot. Now it seems to have gone back up again. Did somebody get out of jail?
