BLOCK MORE SPAM (Score 1)

I am a student of the Univeristy of Texas at Austin in the department of Computer Science. I thoroughly agree with the decision, however, why do I keep seeing more spam in my inbox? I forward all my mail to my gmail account so it filter out the unwanted trash. Its not only from my UT Mail account but also from my CS account where I get the spam, from which I get the most spam. We need to stop spam because it is illegal. Only if people sign up for services that promote products, should it be legal.
