Spamometer survey says...
Spam is at the highest rate ever at an estimated 93% of all email. The seventh Spamometer survey results were published this week by Ipswitch, Inc, the company that delivers WS_FTP, network monitoring through WhatsUp, and messaging collaboration with IMail Server. The report indicated spam consisted of 62% of all email last year. Of the roughly 93%, the top ranks breakdown into these categories:
Pharmacy -- 34%
Financial & Phishing -- 33%
Gambling -- 7%
Pornography -- 5%
Undecipherable -- 12%

Has anyone experienced an increase this year in spam compared to last year?
