I'm seeing quite a rise in spam as well. The reason is most likely quite simple... Gmail was new before, hence it wasn't spammed. The best way to get rid of spam in your inbox - get a new one! Only fool-proof way there is. Now that it's been around for awhile, so has your email address. (There goes their trump card.)
Changing email adresses is NOT the way to fight spam. It's not fool-proof, it's folish. Your new one goes around after a while because someone in your family/relatives/friends gets another worm/virus/... and the spammers get your email address again. Securing every machine on the internet would be a good start. 95% of all spam messages I have seen lately gets send from DSL or Cable IP addresses. These are machine which run spamware without the user knowing (s)he is sending out spam by the buckets untill their ISP shuts them down. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.
