ps at this rate I'm going to break the million spams by the end of the year.
>Paste Hi folks, Well in case you hadn't noticed the flood of junk mail has increased rather dramatically. Last year at this time we were running 65/35 in favor of the good messages. As you can see from the stats this year the number of spam messages filtered has more than doubled in the last six months. We are currently catching 99% of the spam hitting our mailserver and I've had less than 100 False Positives in the same time period. If we calculate the amount of time saved by not having to manually sort our collective inboxes, my little filter has saved the company 369.69 person/hours. Using the industry standard of 3 seconds/message to JHD.(just hit delete) Now you know why I seem a little hostile toward the spammers out there. Anyway, I thought you'd all like to see that the few that do get through are just a teeny-tiny portion of what you would see without our trusty Spamassassin program.
