Getting more Spam everyday

Hey guys, how do you suggest features to Gmail? I'm starting to get more and more spam here at this address now and it's starting to drive me crazy. It seems the spam that is in my inbox only gets more and more everyday and it's not being picked up by the spam filters. I have to weed through my inbox and mark them all as spam and then in a couple of hours I have to do it all over again. I've been using Yahoo lately for a lot of my mail now because I can control the spam by blocking the domains that they come from. And I know I can do that with Gmail but I don't want to have to set up a filter for every peice of spam that I get. To tell you how bad it is I can check my email, and then go to work. When I come home from work and glance through my email I gurantee you I have around 100 spam messages waiting on me in just an eight hour timeframe.

What did you do to get that much spam??? I can't see how it
could be
dictionary spam (who happens to guess that kind of
username?); what
forms have you added yourself to?

I couldn't honestly tell you man really. I know it has been over time that it continues to get worse and worse. A lot of it is this old ebay work at home stuff, credit card offers, loan offers, shopping advertisements, and all this other spam that hotmail users seem to get spammed with like crazy.

I would make a filter that directs them out of the inbox and to a label. Check that label and mark them as spam.
