90% of mail received by companies in May was spam

Excerpt:

According to data compiled by TrustLayer Mail, the managed security service from Panda Software, 90 percent of email that reached companies in May was spam. This data has been extracted from a study of those companies who have contracted this service.

“Spam is more than just annoying. Unless there is a good mail filter system in place, workers will waste a lot of time deleting junk mail. It could also contain malicious code, and therefore represents a risk to corporate security. For this reason, TrustLayer blocks spam and all types of malware before it can reach computers”, explains Victor Omaechevarria, TrustLayer Mail Product Manager.

Comment: Periodically one may need to create a new email account (abandon the compromised account). My own experience is that Gmail does a super job abandoning Spam (to a Spam folder). Bluebottle absolutely stops Spam via whitelisting.
