In the time frame from 4/2/02 00:00 hours and 4/11/02 23.59 hours I received the following
640 Tagged Spam Emails (all correct I may add) totaling 22.2Meg 539 emails from several email lists including this one, mailscanner and a couple others Totaling 14.3Meg 125 Other regular emails and spam not passing through spam assassin Totaling 3.39Meg My email address used to be posted in a lot of newsgroups so I get lots of spam. Plus I have had the same address for 7 years. Needless to say Spamassassin is a god send to me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matt Sergeant Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 1:19 AM To: Charlie Watts Cc: Eric S.

(that's certainly why the 0.5% figure is like it is - because we see a lot of over-size messages like word docs which tip the scales). Personally my home inbox I see about 10 to 15 spams a day (increasing monthly it seems), and about 4 or 5 non-spams. But I'm a fairly unusual case - try a google search for my name for example ;-) -- Matt. <:->get a SMart net</:-> _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
