   Wow your spam numbers are really close to what I heard at a conference a few weeks ago. This guy was saying that 5 years ago spam was at around 97% of the email received, and he said today it is about 66%. Have you noticed it is less in the last few years?

   It's tough to say. On most of my accounts, including my primary email address, I also filter at the server level, and those emails are simply deleted if they're above a certain threshold. I've done that for a number of years (I want to say four, which probably means it's closer to six or seven).

   What's astounding to me is that I'm a year and a half away from having a DECADE of spam-filtering data in ONE APP alone (SpamSieve). That's insane!
