I have a personal domain on Gmail, and my spam folder currently has 105 messages in it from the past month. Two are mis-filed mass mailings and one is from a mailing list that I think I was once legitimately on, but which has refused to unsubscribe me. The rest are from russian women who thinks I'm sexy and a few from the Nigerian central bank (that's apparently still a thing, who'd have thought). These are the emails that are not related to me being on a centralised commercial host, and they all made it past Googles ample defences.

That tells nor about the state of alleged defenders than state of email. 2009 vintage spam filter (CRM114, OSBF, extra weight on headers) is easily much more accurate in all senses than GMail alleged spam filter. The problem with GMail is it uses some generic idea of unwanted mail that never correctly applied to the mail you receive in the first place - to save space on personalised filters and speed up processing. Oh, and to extract global statistics. * http://crm114.sourceforge.net http://crm114.sourceforge.net
