I don't believe you. Sorry. Unless you never actually use your email address for anything, to have zero spam is impossible.
Unless you mean that you have a 100% success rate in filtering that spam out, and in which case, I'd still not believe you.

- notRobot 3y agoThey obviously mean zero outgoing spam.
- bspammer 3y agoI believe the author means that he has sent zero spam in the that time, not received zero spam.
- murbard2 3y agoHe likely means he's not sending spam.

- sleepydog 3y agoGiven the context of IP reputation, I'm certain they mean that zero spam has been sent from that IP, not that zero spam has been received. Preventing spam from being sent from your IP is achievable.
- horusthegame 3y agoI've not been on any spam list in 10 years or more and only once in around 24 years (or more) of hosting my own email, and I do use my email accounts. That one time was 100% my goof, made a simple mistake, fixed it, was barely a hiccup.
- fsckboy 3y agothe article is very poorly written on one really important dimension, and that is inbound email vs outbound. "Does mail you send get caught in filters you don't control?" vs "how should you handle inbound mail through the spam filters you must configure." the portion of the article that you are quoting seems to mean that his domain/subnets have a perfect record of not sending any spam. in the weighting system in my head, people who don't meticulously keep track of differences like this in a writeup make me worry that they weren't keeping track when working on the problem itself either.
