Maybe a naive question - is Spam that big an issue any more? For me (both corporate and personal email managed by GMail) I rarely see Spam messages.
This article is from 2004, maybe it was a bigger issue at the time.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoI think it's a much smaller problem for end users these days - the cost to our attention is down to something like 1% at best. But there's still a very large cost to systems, sysadmins, etc. - because all of that spam still gets sent, so processors still have to devote cycles to sending it, receiving it, and classifying it, and someone pays for the bandwidth as well.
