Spam is today a huge cost – and growing rapidly. According to
Industry estimates, over $25 billion are lost per year
in just the time spent by users to delete spam. At least
70% of all emails are spam, and the percentage shoots up
at times to over 90%. A study published by COMPUTERWORLD
estimated the average cost incurred by businesses
towards lost user productivity at $1625 a year – after
spam filters were installed. This study also found that
IT staffers spent another 4.5 hours per week on the
problem.
The continuing failure of the many anti-spam products
pointed to the need for an innovative “out of the box”
approach to the problem. This happened, and the result
is Spamjadoo.
