Spam Growth
June 1st, 2003
No comments
May was my first 15,000+ spams month. I actually averaged 500 spams a day in the month. SpamAssassin is catching about two-thirds of them, so they don’t take up too much of my time, but I’m still having to flag a lot by hand.
However, the rate of growth has slowed slightly. The growth from March to April was over 41%, whereas April to May was only 37%. And if I adjust for the fact that April was a shorter month, it’s even more noticable – 45% to 33%.
Will be interesting to see if I hit 20,000 spams in June.
