Re: You Have Spam

If you get your broadband service from Orange, then I do feel sorry for you. According to this survey, Orange allows just under 97% of all email traffic sent to be SPAM email traffic.
That means only 3% of emails sent are genuine on the Orange network. The future isn’t bright and the future isn’t Orange when an authentic email you send is battling away with the 97% of SPAM email traffic to arrive at its intended destination.
There are some other big companies in the top ten list as well. BT Internet [they're probably too busy running Phorm tests on their customers, without their permission], Pipex and Tiscali.
These companies should be filtering the incoming emails at their gateway exchanges before they even enter their network. They can’t stop all emails, but Orange allows 96.63% SPAM emails onto their network is shoddy professionalism/laziness.
Read my earlier post regarding reducing SPAM to combat the deluge of crap most of us receive on a daily basis. Or move to an ISP that actually makes an effort to deal with SPAM.
