Spam messages on your emails

Unwanted messages are flooding our mail boxes..but studies shows that Internet users are being used to this and therefore not complaining about spam.
Thirty-seven percent of U.S. e-mail users say they are getting more junk in their personal e-mail accounts, and 29 percent see an increase in their work accounts. About half say they have not noticed a change. Meanwhile, 28 percent of Internet users now say that spam is not a problem at all, up from 16 percent in June 2003.
They said that spam emails have been a part of the online life, so people feel that they should just stop complaining about it and move on, even though they still get annoyed. Most complains were from users who get spam emails with pornography.
Some user have been wise by blocking spam with software filters and using techniques for making their e-mail addresses more difficult for spammers to find.
