Arround the same here.

Per day around 1800-2500 messages from over 100 Mailingliste
(mainly Debian) and 50-8000 Spams + 10-150 Viruses.

"linux4michelle" I find me arround 60-90.000 times.

Yeah, The Debian-Mailinglists are heavily spamed, but
they filter allready excessiv SPAM and viruses.

I have made a short function for my own public archives which
cripple the whole E-Mail so it shows only in a Webbrowser correctly.

I am thinking, that spamers know the trich with the "@" and maybe "."
