This is about the kind you get in the web-mail and in the appropriate dir. Personaly I like that of Yahoo best because of its volume, diversity and many facets.

Hotmail is boring. Here spam mostly pertains to medicine and sites that may aid in helping test those medicine. For a while now the amount of spam seems to have decreased. However, about 50% of this spam is mail that you would have actually liked to receive in your inbox.

Gmail returns only a small volume of spam. Most of them are indecipherable messages to mere mortals. These messages seem to contain random misspelled words. A broken link is also provided in most cases.

Walla unfortunately doesn't provide any spam whatsoever :( nothing to review here.

Yahoo is a wonder and there's lots of it. It does not only propagate medicine and illicite software, but also enables you to have wrist watches almost as nice as the real thing, have a shot at inheriting millions accidentaly made out to you, up to procuring your degree online. Furthermore, all these mails are from people with nice sounding names. When you try to mail your friend it might display a fuzzy verion of 'ljhg7806789hfgvghfk' and asks you to re-type it, just to make sure you're not spamming.

What is your favorite spam base?
