Okay .. here's a fun exercise (granted, as a .edu, the FB stats are
statistically over-represented) .. this is yesterday.
total email : 1,594,435
from @*facebook* : 17,274 (1.1%)
Taken as a total of *legitimate* email that got through the spam filter ..
"legit" email : 79,072
from @*facebook* : 16,383 (20.7%)
Facebook's "notifications" account for ~21% of the mail making it past
the border SPAM appliances.
