Away from home for a week and a half and what do I find in my mailbox? 748 spam emails drowning out the few dozen genuine ones
Is this a record?
Mailwasher keeps crashing every time I try to bounce them back so I'm gonna have to download them all..

I remember once burning a CD, leaving to watch tv, and coming back to find 2,500 in my inbox.
It wasn't advertising though so I don't think that counts as a record. =P
Yours mostly unique?

I once had to change my entire e-mail since I was bored and ran this script:
Code: Select all
<?php
$i = 0;
while($i<10) {
mail("me@me.com", "spam by youself!", "spam spam spam!");
}
?>
Well, the increment was missing so It's an infinite loop and yeah......it goes on and on and on O_o. I stopped the script after a few seconds but I got flooded like 1000+ if I remember correctly. Not beating Sami's record

but beating anyone's stupidity record!

luckily yahoo's spam filter is pretty darn good, which is what I use for my pop mail clients. I get maybe 7 a day and I've had the same email address for 7 years.
at work I get about a hundred a day, sucks usually I wind up deleting emails from my boss. lol

LOL. I thought I had it bad!
Some of them are the same again and again - the usual <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> sellers, investment "opportunities" and others. They've recently jumped to around 80 or so a day: time for a new email address methinks - thanks for the Yahoo tip J boy.
