The third edition of our monthly spam report was released today. This edition discusses some fascinating topics. Key findings include:

Replica-watch spam has taken over the number one position for holiday spam.
Business leaders and legislatures have promised to stamp out spam, yet the plague persists. Does reputation-based security hold the key?
Putting a dollar value on productivity lost due to spam.
The topic of lost productivity and bringing quantifiable numbers to the impact of spam on a business is particularly interesting and worth a solid read. Download a copy here.
