[ietf-clear] [OT] blocked messages per day

[James Couzens]

This is a bit off topic, but since Carl seems fairly active here perhaps
he can verify this:


"The bottom line, according to one presenter, is that spammers are doing
better than ever, if the amount of spam being distributed is any
indication. AOL and MSN are each blocking 2.5 billion messages a day.
Brightmail recently indicated that 60% of all email is spam."

as taken from:

http://www.cdt.org/speech/spam/20040715consultation.shtml

Do you really block 2.5 BILLION messages per day?  That just seems
obscenely high to me.  It should be noted that the above stated article
(now corrected) was guilty of referring to SPF as "Microsoft's SPF" :/

Cheers,

James
