Blocking of Email From Some Domains
Between January and September of 2003, more than 65 million of more than 155 million messages [42%] were classified as spam. These numbers are only for the primary University mail relays, and do not include virus-infected messages. While the domain blocks will only affect a fraction of this load, they should significantly reduce the burden on both the email relays and the email hosts to which the messages are ultimately delivered.
We realize that this is an imperfect solution, however, resources are finite and spam apparently isn’t.
aaack. Those are amazing numbers ….
