A million spam messages a day

Posted by Nathaniel.

I get about 100 spam messages a day and Mail.app does a pretty darn good job of stopping them. I haven’t had one slip through or had a false-positive in the last couple of weeks.

It would be a touch different if I were getting a million spam messages a day.

    Blitzmail’s spam filter is actually surprisingly solid, though a slow learner. A million is kinda a lot, though.
