Spam--unsolicited, usually dubious commercial e-mail messages--accounted for 82 percent of all the inbound e-mail processed during August, and made up 90 percent of all mail sent during one spam-filled day last month, according to e-mail security firm FrontBridge Technologies. The company says the latest flood of spam was spurred by back-to-school specials and political pitches.
According to FrontBridge, it blocked 2.5 billion spam messages in August, of 3.1 billion messages processed during that month. The e-mail storm reached a peak on August 30, when 90 percent of all the messages processed by FrontBridge were spam. FrontBridge, which offers e-mail management and security services for companies, compiled its data from more than 2200 global customers and 15,000 e-mail domains.

If you really believe that, I've got some really nice swampland in Florida for sale. Also a great bridge in Brooklyn.
But please, make sure you bring cash to the sale—preferrably in small untraceable bills!
I get nearly no spam. Only one of my 4 email addresses returns any result in google, and it's an old one I was dumb enough to post back when I used tripod.
It's more a case of unethical vendors selling your e-mail address to other companies, who in turn sell it to others as well.
Don't ASS-U-ME.
