Recent estimates I've seen suggest up to 80% of the traffic on the net
is spam or malware.

It amazes me that they refuse to accept the obvious.  Linux/Debian/Gnu
provides all the solutions they need, yet they continue to rely on
Lookout! and Gmail, instead of slapping in procmail/mailfilter and
bogofilter/SA.  Huh.  I've no sympathy, sorry.  I'm not seeing a crap
flood from where I'm sitting.
