How much spam you get may depend on the first letter in your e-mail address, a study reveals.

The analysis, of more than 500 million junk messages, revealed those letters that get more junk than average.

It found that e-mail addresses starting with an "A", "M" or "S" got more than 40% spam. By contrast those beginning with a "Q" or "Z" got about 20%.
The difference could be down to the way spammers generate e-mail addresses they want to target, said the study.

Oh well it could also be that they are of lesser amount ? Just throwing an idea . Q and Z starting id's are quite rare .

I would imagine that for them to be able to make statements about the percentages, that the statistics would have had to be adjusted, allowing for the rarity of some letters.

This is rather comical because you steal content to spam this forum.

Proof? SEO for redirected domains

Ok sir,

I am not post on this forum if you think I am a spammer.

Thank You

Have they also factored in the age of the e-mail accounts? Were they all the same age?

Then there are the known domains. Do established domains get more USCE because of spam dictionaries working just on them? It's almost certain webmaster, info, and so on at any domain are surefire spam targets.

Is there is commonality about the names that start with a particular letter? Mc, Mac, and so on?

Personally, I find a study like this to be almost pointless, as the results are always going to come into question.

This may be reaching:

What is really needed is some form of node authentication that ISPs recognize, whereby the unauthenticated mass mailings would be dropped on the first bounce while genuine mass mailings would be allowed to complete their trip. The added CPU load at that point would greatly reduce the huge loads that are spread around the network. All a company need do is register their domain and encode their mailings with an id linked to that domain.
