Spam Slows AT&T Email

As has been noted here already, much of it these days is originating from Asia and, according to the article, 'now represents 20 percent of all e-mail floating around the Internet.'"

  1. What about "Spam" from M$?! by garoush · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The "Spam" that I get from MS ("Windows Update" notification) is killing me. In the past two weeks I had to "update" my W2K TWICE.

    And when ever I try to update, the process would break halfway because M$'s server can't keep up with the demand.

    In my view, not only has M$ taken over 95% of the desktop, they will soon take over internet traffic with their daily "update".
