The following chart plots every single piece of spam and virus email that
arrived at my work email address since April 1997. Blue dots are spam and
red dots are email viruses. The horizontal axis is time, and the vertical
axis is size of mail (on a logarithmic scale). Darker dots represent more
messages. (Messages larger than 1MB have been treated as if they were 1MB.)
*snip*
"Totals: 227.6MB of spam in roughly 19,000 messages. 61.8MB of viruses in roughly 3500 messages."
He don't get much spam! I thought I was on the low side, but this number seems really low for the timeline. I think a few people on the list do this in an hour :)
Hardly enough to measure the spam level of the Interweb.

That's roughly 2 months worth for me. Sigh.
