Spam Stats

I saw this cool page on Postini.com that has a ton of stats on how bad the spam problem really is. Postini makes spam-blocking network tools, and I'm not trying to promote their products. I just wanted to relay the alarming stats.

Stats of note:

- 84.2% of email they process is spam.

- There were 74,183,813 spam messages processed by Postini's servers TODAY.

- 2.4 Billion spam messages seen by Postini's servers in the past 30 days.

Nice to see them using Flash to present their stats, too.
