I go through roughly 2500 spam messages a day to weed out the actual legitimate ones that get caught by our spam filters. If it weren't for the outlook filters I have running, I would have to go through over 7000 messages a day! Spam is a pain isn’t it? I go through roughly 2500 spam messages a day to weed out the actual legitimate ones that get caught by our spam filters.
