I get about 10 emails per day about buying a replica watch. Apparently they're the hottest thing going. How many such emails do you get? More? Less? Check your spam folder. :P
I figure 10% (probably way off) of the world's population (6.7 billion) has an email account. So, that's about 670,000,000 replica watch emails per day.
Even if 0.01% of those get replies, that's 67,000 people who just might be interested in a replica watch. If 10% of those people actually buy a replica watch, that's 6,700 replica watches per day.
Not bad for an email bidness. [coffee]
Which is why the Nigerian scams are still around.
That said, I get close to zero spam...

What's your secret?
I get from 5 - 20 replica watch spams per day.
Sometimes as many as 100 "Canadian Pharmacy" spams in a day.
Start a new email account and don't give it to ANYONE!
Hahaha
I do not get any spam mail. I use yahoo mail and their spam filter must be good.

Had a spam issue for a while, got spambayes for sorting the spam from legitimate.
Very effective.
Then the spam problem went away.
I get 1 or 2 replica watch emails a day on my hotmail. I always flag them as spam, but they still come. I don't know why MS can't filter them.

I use Yahoo as well...
I have Gmail (Google Mail) and I get about 50 - 75 Spam Emails a day in my spam filter, maybe 1 every 6 months will make it into my Inbox, The Spam filter in Gmail is pretty good!
Went to Las Vegas for 2 weeks early last year (Wedding/Honeymoon), Didn't check my Emails for those 2 weeks
came back to an inbox with about 50 Messages waiting and the Spam filter had over 1700 messages jammed in it!
1 button and all gone. ;D
I have a spam filter but my email address must be available to some since I do online retailing. I haven't got any for replica watches though.
I suppose I get about 10 -20 spam emails a day. I it takes me about 2 minutes to get them gone. Dolph
