97% SPAM

You are not seeing much SPAM anymore in your Inbox? Does not mean that the problem went away:

"Below is a summary of the incoming email to our gateway mail servers for all domains that we accept email for (there are 57 domains). This summary is for the last 7 days: Our mail servers accepted 1,438,909 connections, attempting to deliver 1,677,649 messages. We rejected 1,629,900 messages and accepted only 47,749 messages. That's a ratio of 1:34 accepted to rejected messages!

Ordinary users still think spam is bad, but they don't really know just how bad....)

The entire thing with more detail is here.
