O’Reilly Radar > Spam Filtering Statistics from oreilly.com – So, O’Reilly domains see a good mail to spam ratio of 1:34. Out of every 35 messages coming into O’Reilly domains only 1 is a legit email. At CALI well over 90% of our incoming email is bogus. Between my various accounts I’m getting over 1,000 messages a day, but only about 50-60 of those are not spam of one sort or another. I’ve quit looking at the spam folders on my accounts, I just delete them. Am I missing email? I don’t think so. It has been a few years since I got one of those I tried to email you but never heard back messages and didn’t find the note neglected in my inbox. The reality is that email as we know and love it is dead as an effective communication channel. And there is nothing to replace it. So we soldier on.
