More than 95% of e-mail is junk, be it spam, error messages or viruses, report mail monitoring firms.

Analysis of the contents of millions of e-mails has revealed that less than 4% is legitimate traffic.

wat can we do with spammers? :pimp

kill them :))))

yup!! lets kill spammers!!!

Email has reached the point where it is all but useless.

I am actually expecting the next "killer ap" to be e-mail style messaging via ICQ or AIM that will require that your senders be pre-authorized before you can receive anything from them, and those senders will have to have accounts on that message system.

Just remember, you will be able to tell your grandchildren about when "you had to filter spam". The end is very, very near.

i hope u are right :thumbsup

I think that's too low ....

I wonder how many real emails get "filtered"

this is also because there are so many alternatives to email these days. you really think spam is increasing? i only get 1-2 every few days using only spam assassin as my filter. anyways, with IM's, skype, vOIP and message boards, etc there is less and less reason to use it, besides for commerical reasons.

yea there are real messages that gets filtered too

you a fucking idiot if you believe it's ganna happen...there's thousands of different isp's, there's no way you can be on the same message system :1orglaugh
