[Tech] E-mail: un terzo ormai e' spam

Secondo un rapporto della IDC nel 2003 lo spam ha rappresentato il 32% delle e-mail spedite in un giorno medio in Nord America, raddoppiando la percentuale calcolata nel 2001.

Analysts IDC reckons that spam represented 32 per cent of all email sent on an average day in North America in 2003, doubling from 2001. That figure is less than the 50 per cent or more junk mail statistic commonly cited by email-filtering firms like MessageLabs and Brightmail but it still represents a serious problem.



The effect of spam - measured in clogged inboxes, lost worker productivity and wasted IT resources - is measured in millions of dollars annually for larger organisations. Adding to this, three-quarters of the IT executives responding to an IDC survey feel the spam tsunami will only get worse over the next two years.
