[Modus] Where is my Spam? - PUN

[Bill Rakowitz]

I know how you feel Gene.  Check out this pun I posted to the beta group early in the program:   =================   Dear Vircom,   It is with much regret that I must inform you we are considering leaving the Beta team.   There is only one reason that we are considering leaving, and that being the strange timing associated with spammers leaving the Internet.   We are confident that spammers left the internet at the very moment we installed the beta, and base this on the following facts:   Prior to installing the beta, my personal mailbox was receiving up to 30 SPAM messages daily. Since installing the beta, my personal email box receives 3 to 5 spam messages daily.     Ok, so this indicates that some of the spammers are still out there sending their trash, but obviously the majority of spammers have simply given up and quit sending this trash.   Since our participation in the beta was driven by the desire to control spam messages, and   Since 80 to 90 % of the spammers have stopped spamming – we are wondering if there is any need to continue with the beta?   Obviously, I’m joking – but the numbers above are real.  We have also seen our quarantine double in the number of messages stored which indicates to me that the beta is catching twice as much spam as the release version.    The new engine is doing a very good job.   =============== Bill Rakowitz YK Communications   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gene DuCharme Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 4:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Where is my Spam?   * This is the modus mailing list *   I got absolutely nothing to do now in regards to e-mail.   That means I may become obsolete?   --------------------------------------------------- Gene DuCharme             SysAdmin Inland Northwest Internet (inwi.net)   509-935-8923                  USA Online Central        (usaoc.com)  877-GO-USAOC 401 S.
