Okey, science I got Gmail I have had barely no spam at all but when I checked my mail this morning...

43 new mails in inbox, all spam Now, I'm getting spam mails every minute. Even now I just got one. Is there a way to track them or something?

Hmm

When/If you were deleteing your spam folder, did you accidently press unmark as spam or w/e?

I did that and I had emails coming out the ying-yang.... Had to go through like 4-5 pages of mail to report them all back as spam...

Contact Google

They might be able to help.

Check out this....

Seems like your not the only one?

Maybe there has been a spam attack on gmail addresses or something

I've never gotten a single spam in my GMail.

The golden rule is, don't let strangers know what your email address is
Hint: your signature.

You don't tell your home address and phone number to a total stranger, do you?

Okey, some more info...
-All spam mail are in german
-I didn't even recive spams to the spam folder before

Yep -rafy- that's it, same thing.

Hmm definately report this to google.

You aint the only one with the problem.

i got an email from my uncle a little while ago...he works with computers and it said http://spf.pobox.com/ is very good for fighting spam but i havent installed it yet so im not sure if its what you need but it may be helpful...

I have 3 german spam messages in my spam section.

SO yeah definately looks like a massive spam attack from the germans!

I'm getting around 10-20 Items of Spam daily, it's really stupid... I have to clear it out all the time.

I used to get a ton to my account every day, they all ended up in my spam folder though. Now I don't get any spam, filtered or otherwise.

I have the notifyer, it's showing me a new spam every check time (2 mins). I also get them to my spam folder.

Looks like its confirmed that its something abnormal

Sober worm delivers Teutonic spam
By Sam Varghese
May 16, 2005

A variant of the mass-mailing Sober worm, which affects systems running the Windows operating system, is responsible for the flood of spam in German over the weekend and today, a senior anti-virus researcher says.

Jakub Kaminski, who works at Computer Associates in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond, said the variant had been called Sober-O by CA and Sober-Q by other companies.

"One characteristic of this worm is that it excludes the domains of anti-virus outfits when sending mail, so we do not have samples apart from those which have been sent to us by others," he said.

The mail sent by the worm contains links to news articles on mostly right-wing German sites, with a good number being from the website of the extremist National Democratic Party.

"The worm seems to be up-to-date as far as the news angle goes, as some of the links are to articles about Turkey's bid to become part of the European Union," Kaminski said.

Last week, another variant of the same worm flooded inboxes with bogus emails about tickets to next year's World Cup.

AP adds: Among the many subjects on the spam emails is one with the German subject line "60 Years of Freedom: Who's Celebrating?" referencing the end of World War II.

Another reads: "Honourable Action". One in English carried the subject: "Dresden Bombing Is To Be Regretted Enormously," referring to the Allied attack on the German city during World War II.

Other messages warned of ethnic Mafia groups and the increase in foreigners attending German schools.
