Excerpt:

Three billion messages a day arrive at the computers that
run Hotmail, a Microsoft service with 170 million
subscribers. The service blocks 2.7 billion of those
messages, said George Webb, business manager for
Microsoft's anti-spam technology and strategy group. Of the
300 million messages that make it to people's in-boxes, Mr.
Webb said, he does not know what percentage is spam.
