Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been posting on
wine-devel from two addresses: dimi at intelliware..., and dpaun at rogers...
since Jan of this year. It's been more than 4 month, and as a matter
of fact I've also posted on the binutils list as well from my
dimi at intelliware.ca, so I don't know where the address got harvested,
but it does give an upper bound. Here is the situation:

  -- I read my mail from work and from home. At work I read my mail
     from 9:30 to 18:00, and there I delete all spam, so I can't
     account for it. But I can tell you I don't get much. If spam
     would be evenly distributed, I should get roughly 1/3 during
     business hours, but it's far less than that. But since we're
     looking for an upper bound, we can work with 1/3.
  -- At home all mail I delete go to the trash folder in kmail, so
     here I can count.

This being the case, in the last month (which should be the worse,
because it takes time to harvest the address, etc.) I could count
about 20 spams on that address (dimi at intelliware...). If we assume
I've deleted 1/3, this gives at most 30 spam mail per month, or
an average of 1 per day. And for what it's worth, all _very_ simple
to filter out: Viagra, "Copy Any DVD - With a CD Burner", $10000, etc.
