news.bbc.co.uk — The analysis, of more than 500 million junk messages, revealed those letters that get more junk than average. It found that e-mail addresses starting with an "A", "M" or "S" got more than 40% spam. By contrast those beginning with a "Q" or "Z" got about 20%.

Gmail or not, I think modern spam filters are doing a good job anyways.

It might be statistically flawed. The majority of email address prob begin with A, M, S and very little with q or Z so of course, A, M, S are going to have the most email arriving in the 550 million emails studied and it'll look like they get the majority of the spam. lame.

I get at least 1-3 spam messages per day slipping in from companies I did not solicit, and I use GMail. Once again, I love it, but it's not perfect, people.

Appeal to Authority, that is a logical fallacy my friend.

Just becuse some letters are more popular among email address,s does not mean spammers target those letters..They target ALL letters, there just happen to be more of some of them..
