Damn spam
mid-morning on Saturday, the 12th of November 2005 by Chad
Here’s just to let you know how much spam there is. I run a small Exchange 2003 server with SP2 for email. About 10 users or so.
This is how much spam has come in within the past two weeks.
I made this chart with IMFStats.
The SCL stands for Spam Confidence Level. I have it so that SCL of 4 and below is good mail. Everything above a 4 is tagged as spam. Everything above a 6 never even makes it into the mailbox, it is rejected automatically before the server has completed taking in the message.
That’s pretty sad how much crap gets is out there.
And you know what? Spam is nothing more than marketing, nothing more than a commercial to get you to buy stuff. Once again, I blame Darrin Stevens.

I dig what you’re saying. I deal with a small-to-moderate-sized email environment… and I have to deal with thousands and thousands of spam emails that bombard my little domain on a daily basis.
However, I must point out that I always saw Darrin Stevens as simply a tool of the advertising world. He was a man in love… working to provide for (and defend the secrets of) his wife and family the only way he knew how. He was powerless in the world of witchcraft… and he was powerless at the hands of the true criminal.
If you need to blame someone, then… You should blame the man who forced Darrin Stevens into prostituting himself for the corporate good on a daily basis. You should blame the man who stripped Darrin of every inch of his ego and pride just so they could land the next client. You should blame the man who constantly held the threat of unemployment over Darrin’s head… keeping him in constant fear of not being able to provide for his wife and children.
Darrin was just a tool.
You should blame… Larry Tate.
