That’s right. I’ve reached 50,000 spams blocked by Akismet. Now I’ve had my blog since November of 2002 so I expect to have been hit by spams. Of course, I’ve reset the counter by only using Akismet since September 6, 2006. By February 5, 2007, Akismet had blocked 6,000 spams. By August 28, 2007, I had been hit by just under 13,000 spams. And today, December 17, 2007, that number has edged over 50,000. It’s growing and not in a linear fashion. At work, I know we block over 800,000 emails a day that are considered spam by our MailSweeper. I guess in that perspective 50,000 isn’t such a big deal. But I don’t like it. Not one bit!

I wonder about the SPAMmers: do they not know that what they’re doing actually costs us money? Or do they just not care, they get money from companies for sending the SPAM and that’s that?
