Orange is UK’s most spammed ISP

July 7th, 2008 by Kiyani ~ No Comments



According to an email security and anti-spam software company ClearMyMail, three of the UK’s five most spammed individuals use Orange as their ISP.

Data by ClearMyMail shows that the three Orange customers have around 63,339 spam emails blocked every day and 23,118,735 spam emails blocked every year. Exeter-based Colin Wells was named UK’s most spammed citizen as 44,000 spam emails heading for his inbox are blocked each day, amounting to around 16 million a year.

ClearMyMail failed to establish a connection between a customer’s choice of ISP and the amount of spam they receive.

Wells, a workshop foreman for Stagecoach buses, was spending two hours a day deleting spam from his account, making the prospect of “taking a week’s holiday a complete nightmare”.

The individual coming at second place receives 13,578 spam emails daily. He also uses Orange as ISP.

The third (uses Orange), fourth and fifth most spammed British citizens get 12,428, 5,760 and 3,982 spam mails a day respectively.
