Up to 86% of email is spam

A messaging security firm in California processed 25 billion messages in May. They found that 86 per cent of those messages were spam. More info here.

If you don’t already have software to filter out spam messages then start looking. You’ll save a lot of time. I use SpamSieve with Microsoft Entourage for OS X and it does a great job of filtering out unwanted messages.

I believe it; The SPAM that ends up in one’s inbox/junk folder is but a small percentage of the SPAM out there. Most is filtered out by the host/server/email org BEFORE it even gets there.

I’m not sure I really agree with what you have to say.
