    97% of our emails are SPAM!!

    If you run a corp network email server what kind of numbers per day are you seeing as spam? This seems very high to me but we do advertise in South Africa so I suppose this does make us a bit more of a target.

    Looks like we get 96% obviously spam, 2% marked as spam, and 2% good mails. So even worse than you.

    so its not just me then.... I have noticed the number creep up over the last few years from 90% all the way up to 97%.... there will be a day when systems will round up the total so spam will be 100% of emails. That day will be a sad say and ISPs really ned to have a look into a way to stop it.

    It'd be a start if the Spam boys would just stop sending the 96% of mails that are obviously spam... it's not like it's doing them any good anymore.
