Friday, July 04, 2003Fifty Percent
 According to many analysts 50% of all internet email will be SPAM within the next few months. Already AOL are reporting blocking over 2bn messages a day, and assuming others like Message Labs are doing their fair share of filtering the 50% water mark seems believable. Its unlikely that current moves for leglislation will have much effect, if any it may actually be negative. Several pending US leglislative efforts have favored the spammers by making it an opt-OUT policy while the EU is due to bring in directive this summer based upon an opt-IN policy. Do we think either of these will have an effect, well probably not, keep the lawyers happy though. ®©
