What Langa did was just an experiment, and a very important one. Yes, the results are scary, but they that's not his doing, it's merely a snapshot of what's going on right now . People can argue over the percentages all they want, but I can confirm that more and more of my email does NOT get delivered. And it doesn't matter what software you use. TB is a lot better than many others, but we are facing a very, very serious problem here with BOTH the spammers and those idiotic "challenge-based" solutions. But this is getting a bit OT, isn't it?
