Hey, I'm still getting SPAM in my Inbox!
You, too, huh? Well, don't think we are ignoring you; we hear you! Still, everyone gets a little unwanted email from time to time. To that end, we have been and continue to block SPAM at an ever increasing rate. I now would like to present a few figures to show just how much SPAM we prevent from getting to you.

Wow! We've blocked twelve million SPAM email in just three-quarters of a year! Prior to April, 2007, it took nearly two-years to block twelve million email. That's a tremendous growth rate for SPAM proliferation. What does it all mean? Look at the numbers:
And you still got a few junk email?! It happens. Sometimes a few bad-email slip through as good; so, that 1.56% actually encompasses a few stray junk email, too.
In the near-future, I will post a few tips so you can reduce the amount of spam sent to your inbox.
