Almost nothing here since upgrading to ADSL2+ and certainly
none during the past week.

The last spam messages I remember were due to a couple
of friend's and a relative's yahoo accounts being hacked.

changed.

No nothing from them at all. Mine are essentially random variants of
common spams arriving about on average one per day. In practice two or
three at a time followed by a gap with nothing.

Usual stuff UPS delivery, Korean, Taiwan, Russian, Nigerian 419 spam.

I guess it is luck of the draw.
