What's up with spam filtering? Opened my inbox this morning and there were over 60 spam messages - most of them pretty obvious.
Anyone else having problems? And is 'big brother' aware?

Some of it was spam - and some of it was 'your attempt to reach the following email address failed' variety.
Any reason as to why it should suddenly start clogging my inbox?

Just somebody nicked you e-mail address to send out a load of rubbish, it is commonly called back scatter, my last lot I had nearly 900 in three days and then it stopped

Read about it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(e-mail)">here</a> if you wish. There is not much you can do about it, but it normally only lasts a couple of days.
