I have not doneany computation on my part but I remember seen last year (or so) a study showing that spam messages are usually below 64Kb. That can depend on what you clasify as SPAM. Many, 'newsletters' which you've been 'subscribed to' by negative option web-forms are considered SPAM by some, and those may contain PDF attachments of 500kb+Welll.... I wrote about "usual" and those newsletter that you tag as Spam but have subscribed to them are definitely not the norm.
I think that was Martin's point, while they are not the norm, they are off the scale enough to severely influence the 'average'. They account for 0.2% of the events in the same, yet are more than 10000% above what is considered the 'norm'. -- Best Regards, Giles Coochey NetSecSpec Ltd NL T-Systems Mobile: +31 681 265 086 NL Mobile: +31 626 508 131 Gib Mobile: +350 5401 6693 Email/MSN/Live Messenger: gi...@coochey.net Skype: gilescoochey
