Spam as a Percentage of Email

Spam as a Percentage of Email

This gauge represents spam as a percentage of total incoming email. The figure is derived from incoming email and other sources monitored by M86 Security Labs. Reports on the percentage of spam in email can vary wildly - anywhere from 30% to 90%. In fact the volume of spam fluctuates substantially from day to day and week to week. Also, different organizations and countries experience different volumes of spam. We typically see fluctuations between 75% to 95%.
