Spam flood now reached GMail?

Howdy,
Has anyone noticed that the spam flood that hit Yahoo and other mail providers meanwhile reached GMail?
Daily, I get a lot of spam mails about weird bullshit form all kind of weird addresses with a lot of dots in the titles. Even on my private e-mail address that I only use for serious stuff like staying in touch with friends, PayPal, etc...
I even got them on my company e-mail even though I never used it outside the company. That means I only sent e-mails between co-workers and my boss. We all have Google Apps mails with our company's domain. Never used it to sign up somewhere or so but already getting >5 spam mails daily.
Too much work for me to create filters. The addresses are always some different crap domains.
What do you think?

Indeed. I'm getting penis enlargement pill mails in my spam folder.
Yep, those kind of mails are landing there in mine, too. Cleaned two in the morning. Went to read my mails before I wrote this again, cleaned another 5.
I also receive the same thing about pill every day -_-
I am also receiving these penis emails
same here....
like i need any enlargement
i keep cleaning each day
Context. So important.
tis the season for penis enlargement.
I use several google mail accounts and I don't remember when was the last time I received spam.
Just checked my spam folder and indeed a large amount over the last 24 hours.
I am thankful for those messages. Just 6 weeks ago, my little friend was really, really tiny. Now, after that I bought those pills, it became massive like the Tour Eiffel and women already moan when they get close to me.
I'm not getting any penis enlargement emails... and I have no fucking spam filter to speak of.
i'v always wondered how much monies these spammers make? Does anybody actually buy viagra by clicking links in spam emails?
Maybe it's a sign... ;-)
Just kidding :-D
Anyway, I'm not experiencing any change in the amount of SPAM in gmail. It's just a steady 4-10 e-mails a week on 4 different accounts.
why would i buy online when i could get from a pharmacy
The question is; how the hell did they get a mail that was never used in the public? Like my company e-mail address that is only used between company staff. It's just a few weeks old... Damn it.
I never used to get spam on my private mail before either but now I get this shitty crap.
I think I'm rich, a lot of people want to give me money! (/s)
I keep getting images on the emails with chinese text in the spambox, which i dont understand so i just delete them.
They know there is nothing can be done on your case.
I am getting these emails from the past 7 months and whenever I get them I click on the "Report Spam" button. Now I get once per 2-5 weeks. I urge everyone to click the button so others can benefit from it.
I am also getting around 10+ spam per week....was like 2-3 per week earlier
I found the enlargement one in my spambox.
I've got a teenie weenie and I'm proud of it.
Personally I just cut it off altogether, oh I mean all the spam, via some Postfix-based
fascismapplied to HELO and PTR of whoever connects to my mail servers. Reduced the volume of spam from around 30-50 messages a day to 0..3.Create a filter that marks all spam emails as read, and remember to check that folder if you ever expect anything important!
