FWIW, I get around 4-5 per day now, but before activating some of
GOL's spam filters, I was getting three times that, at least. It's
inevitable that some spam make it past spam filters, because they
necessarily err on the side of caution, so just because you still get
spam doesn't mean there is no spam filter in place.
