July Spam Stats

03Aug03

Spam for the month of July plummeted to 1317. POPFile missed 13 spam messages (99.01%), and there were 17 false positives that included one personal e-mail and 13 from assorted Yahoo Groups mailing lists. In total, 39.7% of my e-mail was spam.

I believe that this is the first time that my spam intake has fallen compared to previous months (June: 2112, May: 1684). Off the top of my head I cannot explain it. I did let one of my domains lapse, and killed an address that one spammer had apparently made-up, but neither was responsible for more than a few spams. I’ll do more digging later…
