Erm, seriously? I don't think any of the mail team has "given up easily" and dealing with spam is something which requires constant time and attention. Also, pretty sure the 5% above was inclusive of legitimate mail. And, last but not least, if you don't have any clue how spam is being handled today, you probably have a long learning period to go through before you would be able to constructivly help. If you really want to help, start learning about what's being done already. Thanks, Stephen (not part of anything to do w/ spam or mail handling)
