Most spammed person in the world?

[techs]

Bill Gates gets about 4 million emails a day. Most are spam.

Good

I'd say it was poetic justice, but he could hire 10000 full time people to do nothing but sort the email for him, and not even notice the effect it has on his bottom line...

[TechZ]

I wonder if he even has an email addy, [email protected]
I doubt it. He probably has an official one that only a few people know about.

Probably something like [email protected]

I don't know about a thousand people, but it is in fact almost an entire department that handles/screens those messages.

Not a thousand people, but there are a few:

In addition, several Microsoft employees are dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox.

why does he even have one? I mean whoever is important enough to get thru the spam filters would rather call him!

Isn't his address [email protected]... no-one ever answers e-mails there, so I guess those all get treated as spam as well...

Can see it now.... "Billy, we got someone complaining about an error message on MTA Stacks in 2003 SBS, but we told them it doesn't need it, what should I respond?"

Billy "mmmmm looks like spam to me, just delete it..."

On a serious note though, if he gets so many why doesn't he get his company to design a decent spam washer program?

Whats up ? Can't he write some mail handling rules or what ? .. or perhaps its a reflection of his own levels of confidence in his own stuff ?

I mean all us IT support 'types' know exectly how good he is & his products are -don't we ? He makes zillions out of writing the stuff, employs loads of folks directly, & loads & loads more indirectly who get to make zillions (sadly shared between far, far more people !) out of fixing it ..

Does that make M$ windows just one huge job creation scheme ?!?
