One example of this
sort of report is the MessageLabs Intelligence report, issued monthly by Symantec subsidiary
MessageLabs. In this report, the primary data comes from mail traffic filtering that the company’s
services provide. Generally, this sort of report has the virtue of being highly accurate. When the
report tells us that 87.5 percent of the mail traffic it handled in October was spam and that this
was a 4.2 percent decrease from September, it is likely that these numbers may be taken at face
value. The 4.2 percent decrease is not plus or minus some amount, rather there were some exact
number of mail pieces fewer that amounted to an exactly 4.2 percent drop. This sort of exactitude
isn’t everything, though.
