AOL Blocks 2 Billion Spam/Day

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-flat-out-scary dept.

T_moz writes "According to this article AOL has blocked over two billion (2000000000) SPAM emails in one day!" This figure is 70-80% of all mail incoming to AOL users. Utterly insane. Unfortunately, all this blocking means spammers will just send more mail to make up for it until a real solution is found.
