I also get a lot of Japanese, Chinese, and Russian spam. I haven't bothered to try to translate any of it, though. I've heard good things about Spamassassin, but I've never used it. I have my account pass through Postini, which catches about 95% of it. Oh yeah, I’ve seen that one.

Most of my spam is in Japanese though. I looked up some of the words in my Japanese dictionary. I must've used my gmail address for something to do with speaking Japanese at some point, I guess. If I use IMAP and have it go to Thunderbird and turn on Thunderbird's Spamassassin filter, I don't get them though. Maybe GMail needs Spamassassin. “Instrument” is one I see a lot.
