Re: The Most Spammed Man in America (Maybe the Wor

I think this ia an urban legend. Why? Well, I maintain e-mail servers and the hardware and datacom required to process 4 million e-mails a day is stagering. Then there's the fact that, unless it was all computer generated, one out of every 10 people would have to send him one e-mail every single day.

I've never seen an e-mail go to bill gates from any of the mail systems that I manage.

It may be a legend but it's on the newswire today so who can you trust?

This sounds like a case for Mythbusters /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

YOu got good points. What the emails maybe, the effort to send, receive and sort them.

On second thought, why doesnt he change his address and only tell folks who use it? I do not believe I have seen his address anywhere and I am sure he could use a different one for internal emails.

On second note, wonder how much email stevecase gets? I use to forward my spam to him when I first joined.

I guarantee you he does have his own address that only he knows. Its probably something that has nothing to do with his name nor affiliation with Microsoft.
