Anybody notice a decline in Spam?

urb, there have been a couple of busts in the US and a recent empty judgement for 1 billion dollars (the defendants didn't show, so they lost by default, which means no precident for future cases).

I have also found that hotmail is getting MUCH better at filtering junk, and with the increase in mailbox space, I never have to look at the junkmail to get rid of it.

Most of the spam I am seeing now is mortgage, pills, or phishing. Very little random one off spams anymore, everything is in VERY tight little formations. Almost no christmas spam this year, I have not been bombarded with the mini toy car / coffee / in time for christmas type crap that I got buried under last year.

I am wondering if incoming mail from China is getting filtered before it spews all over the net? Hmmm...
