If you can believe it--- campus email continues to grow as well as the amount of email spam we screen out. In October the campus received about 6.5 million emails. Of that total 5.25 million email spams were screened from our email system for about 81% hit rate for spam. This is the first pass before we screen our email through our Barracuda firewalls which nets another 10% of spam.
