Might be difficult to find "apples to apples" data on this.
Depending in the business segment you're in, or if you are in a public or
private setting, the practices and volumes may be substantially different.
And....organizations manage their email in substantially different manners
For example, ours comes into 3 different servers, it is all scanned and
scrubbed on receipt to quarantine any/all messages from:
- certain suspect IP addresses,
- any messages with attachments are processed independently
- those with certain types of attachments (such as ZIP files, .wav, .mov,
or any 'executables') have those stripped prior to forwarding to users, and
- any that users have previously marked as junk and requested senders be
blocked are trashed.
We have roughly 7500 user accounts, the numbers of messages received on a
daily basis is staggering (millions) and more than 70% of it never makes it
to users.
I have been analyzing and tracking my email for more than 2 years, and the
numbers have been extremely consistent- between 6-7% of what I receive is
"record"; 75% of that is 75 years, 15% is 25 years and the remaining 10%
vary between 2 and 7 years.
Of the remaining 93-94%, about 25% is transitory (180 days) and the balance
is deleted daily. My monthly volume is anywhere between 1400-1700 incoming
messages.
