Why isn't it true? How much is "too much spam"? From my perspective, I guess that most people in the world get little or no spam, despite 99+% of all mail being sent on the internet being spam. I don't recall receiving a single piece of spam in the past 10 years at my work accounts, and even at home, I seem to be getting a few pieces a day/max.
For my Outlook.com and Gmail.com accounts, I'd say one piece a month would be the norm. Whilst you might not "consider that solved", I don't see it as a big issue. Certainly not one where you need to be taking hallucinogens to agree with the statement.

We have a Barracuda 4xx series appliance, and use several RBLs, and we still get far too much spam, much of it phishing. Also, as noted by another poster, most email flowing through the world is still spam. I'm sure that there are better solutions than the Barracuda, but none of them are anywhere near perfect. Actually, when I had Maia Mailguard running, I found it superior to the Barracuda, but it still wasn't extremely good.
