On six days during August, spam soared to over 90 per cent of all email traffic and on one day hit the dizzyingly depressing heights of 92.59 per cent.

@ madshrimps mail nowadays is good for 30-40 spam messages a day, a year ago that was about 20.

Messages are auto deleted.

But i was surprised about the large amount of people that still buy something that is presented through spam email. Can't find the article anymore but the number was huge.

I do not get one spammail message on my pandora account, and that's the only one I use

(not one = zero, nil, none)

check your MyTelenet status, spam filtering was enabled a while back, the filter is quite good.
