Our corporate spam filter is set to give us daily and weekly reports on total emails received and what percentage is spam, viruses, etc...

Here is todays report for January 4-11.

Total email received - 161,448

Percentage that is Spam - 127,522 (79%)

Viruses - 0

Worms - 8 (<1%)


Spam mail has gotten so far out of hand that it's not even funny. 79% is the average for the week. Some days, 85% - 90% is spam. Rediculous!

I've noticed it kicking up a notch on one of my home accounts. Filters used to catch most of it but it's getting out of control.

Time to switch email addresses again.

Seriously, I think televised game shows involving shooting cannons of razorblades at spammers while they stand in lemon juice showers is in order.

Very good punishment...

I keep hearing these spam horror stories, but have yet to have the issue. I get maybe 5 a day that are "Known Spam" and two or so "Suspect" that are in fact Spam.
