I should add that around 7000 of those went to just 20 people out of around 600 mailboxes. I use RBL filtering on our most heavily spammed users.. without that I dread to think what the stats would be because 14% seems pretty bloody good based on what people have posted so far! -----Original Message----- From: Jason Granat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Spam Statistics Hello, I am under the gun to prove a point. We have a spambox account that catches roughly 500-700 spams per day, company wide. We have about 10 highly active email users. My boss thinks it's rediculous that so much spam is being sent to us. Very little spam actually gets to the users. He's upset that spam comes in at all. He thinks it's just our organization that receives all this spam. What I would like to have is some typical statistics to show him that it's not just our orginization that receives spam. Are there any resources out there to look this up? Would any of you be willing to divulge your spam statistics? Thanks, Jason
