So? I'm with rsk on this one. Either they need to get more active
against abuse, or they have such a huge user base that supporting that
kind of abuse@ load is just a part of being that big. (At 1e6 a day,
given typical abuse-to-report ratios, I'd say the latter would require
something approaching a majority of the planet's population as a user
base.)
That number is likely a drastic overestimate.
Most of the abuse desks I'm familiar with, at big providers, are dealing
with <10k inbound messages a day, excluding feedback loops, before
removing any spam.
Cheers,
