Aardvarks Get More Spam Than Zebras

A recent study by Richard Clayton at Cambridge University determined that the first letter of a someone's email address directly affects how much spam they receive. As shown in the graph (see PDF download), email addresses with numbers as their first characters receive even fewer spam emails. The corpus used in the study was 8 weeks' worth of email with just over half a billion messages, of which 56% was deemed to be spam.
