I'm not seeing any exceptional amount of spam emails. Earthlink has a
fairly vigorous spam filter at the server level also, plus I have the
additional spam filter that I can manage. What I am seeing, though, is an
increase in the number of emails that have viruses attached. Earthlink
quarantines those and sends an email notice. Earthlink has its problems at
times, but their spam filtering is above average.
