Spam is going to crush us all.
Not all of us. 8-P
I see a handful of spams a day. (a quick check of my Junk folder shows
that I've gotten one all day)
Of course we run our email servers with ruthless efficiency, via Spam
Assassin and several RBL's, and send 90-98% of all mail arriving here
straight to the bit bucket.
Properly set up we have very very few false positives. (and we have
people (and emails) from all over the world and people who
legitimately discuss Viagra in their emails.) Occasionally we do need
to whitelist someone's address to keep 'em from being kicked, but it's
still quite a short list.
This takes about 10%-20% of one FTE to manage for something like 1200
accounts.
My opinion is that the vast majority of ISP's are lazy bastards who
just don't give a crap about their customers.
(I was stunned the other day when I looked at our stats and saw that
11.8% of all mail sent to our domain had made it past our spam
filters..that's a very high number)
