Of course, Spam is the destroyer of worlds, or at least email inboxes. In general, I've been pretty lucky; no more than a few spam messages each day in my mailboxes, and some of the mailboxes get none at all.
However, recently, I've noticed my mail Gmail account racking up a LOT of spam (at least, a lot for me). Something like 40 spam messages a day. Now, all of these go to the Spam Inbox, so that's all right, but I wonder, should I be worried? Is it normal? I've never seen this much spam in my life of computing, and it's only the one account. Has that account been compromised somehow?
So, I don't know if this is a Mac question specifically, but it is a vexing one. What to do? I almost want to close the account, it's so annoying.
P.S. - While typing this message, four more messages appeared! That means this is surpassing 40 messages a day now of spam...
