This means that in practice, 96% of all email is junk mail of some kind which is staggering. While this may seem dubious at first, note the following per-day averages culled from my company’s own anti-spam server logs: Average per-day incoming Internet mail stats: Note that we block outright 97.5% of all email received, and when combined with quarantined mail, this increases to 98.3%.This percentage means the mail that reaches my users’ inboxes without any user action, on average, represents less than 2% of all the attempted delivered email. If we were to eliminate spam filtering, users could expect 50-70 more spam messages per-day / per-user on average, adding up to email being "lost in the shuffle" creating productivity loss, massive increase in resource utilization on email servers, and a lot of angry internal customers ;-)Another interesting stat above – on average, we only receive 6 viruses-infected email messages per day out of 55,000+... a rounding error in raw number terms. This indicates the larger and irrefutable trend that email is no longer used as a conduit for spreading viruses as was once the case; rather it is being used to make money from spamming, phishing, identity theft, and other forms of organized crime. Note: The caveat to this statistic is that our anti-spam server drops traffic from known spammer IP addresses and subnets, prior to the virus scanner analyzing the message. It could be that there are many more virus-infected email messages being dropped before virus analysis if those virus-infected messages come from known spammer IPs.The massive up-tick in spam generated and sustained since 2006-June has created a "law of big numbers" problem that is allowing a higher raw number volume of spam through that would have otherwise been blocked pre-June 2006. Botnets are the primary cause of this effect and are the single biggest threat on the Internet at-large today.Sidebar: For those not familiar with the term, botnets are the result of a coordinated installation of a certain type of malicious software designed in such a way as to allow surreptitious and central control of many computers. After compiling the control of these computers (sometimes number in the tens or hundreds of thousands), hackers can use them to perform coordinated attacks against other systems, gather and amalgamate information on large numbers of people (for identity fraud, etc.), and are largely used in organized cybercrime today. The client computers that have this software installed are called "bots" or "zombies" since control of their operation has been seized by the hacker and they are no longer autonomous.
