99% of Email Sent, We Blocked as Spam
Just one of our systems blocked 13.1 million messages in one week.
That equaled 99% of all traffic sent through it! Meaning that our customers servers never had to bear that load and this barrage never slowed down their systems.
With 1% of email making it past our first level of filtering, another 27% were blocked at the next stage.
Through all of this, not one legitimate email was blocked.
This is WAY more than usual amounts of traffic, email spam is definitely not slowing down.
