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
