Spam Accounts for 91% of all E-mail in the USA

by Larry Richman on November 29, 2006

According to the online security firm IronPort Systems, 62 billion spam messages a day clogged US e-mail systems in October–twice the volume of the previous October.

They report that unwanted e-mail is currently 91% of all e-mail.

The problem isn’t limited to the US, either. The European Commission reports that 50-80% of all e-mails sent in the EU are spam.
