Only three? That seems low to me.

Don't count on these emails always originating from a Google server.
Staying ahead of spammers is a difficult and time-consuming affair. Warning
normal users about a specific detail like this is useless as tomorrow the
spammers will be using hacked Yahoo accounts.

Which is why a long long time ago I moved to GMail. The time I save not
having to deal with spam is well worth it. Plus I've never found an email
client that I like better than GMail. Everything else I've tried is stuck
in the 90's with IMAP and folders.
