1 network = 30% of ALL spam???

According to this article in the New York Times on the shutting down of a major international spam network probably 90% of all email traffic is spam. That certainly is my experience every morning. And this gang, says the NYT was probably responsible for 30% of all spam, using 35,000 'zombie' computers, whose owners never knew they were being used that way, in an international 'botnet'. Mindboggling!

So will you shortly be seeing a sharp reduction in daily spam? What do you think?
