I cleared 26 today at 12 PM, my prior mail check was at 4:30 AM, I 
had a long night getting a trailer to the USA :)  (Woops add to more 
in my mail box for mail I send to myself!)

I had 48 yesterday. (Woopsand four more in that same mail box!) These 
are messages that get around TMDA and land in my inbox directly.

Today my TMDA has 4939 messages in quarantine over a seven day period.

Ham?

I can't say I'm seeing a decrease.  But I have a LOT of active 
emails. So where you might get one or two, I usually get 6-8 from the 
same sender.
