Is it just me?
Spam really kicked up for me the last week or so. Anyone else suddenly getting tons of spam?

Me too. I am not sure what happened but I have two email accounts that are not widely publicized and those are even getting spam now. The two public email addresses I have are receiving about 3 to 4 times the amount I am used to getting.
Most seem to be centered on mortgage rates, which makes me wonder how I got off the penis enlargement list and onto that one. I guess I should be somewhat flattered that the word is getting around that I don’t really need any enlargement but I am still left to wonder who told?

I recommend Mail Washer Pro. Cheap, effective, and it saves me countless hours of sorting through spam to find the real stuff.

It got bad at work about six weeks ago. I’m using the Bayes Spam Filter for Outlook, and it’s great. You train it to recognize spam. I haven’t had a single false positive. You can download it from freshmeat.net.
For my personal email I use mailshell.com. They have good spam filtering and disposable email addresses you can use for newsletters, web site registrations, eBay, etc. That’s why I use saysuncle@lesjones.com for my my address on the comment board here – if spammers get their mitts on that address, I’ll just block it.
