SpamCop, Yahoo & Gmail Spam Filtering Stats: Jan 13-15, 2006

I'm continuing on with my earlier look at how SpamCop, Yahoo & Gmail all handle spam fighting. Here's the rundown for the mail received yesterday from around 10:30am Friday, Jan. 13 through Monday, January 16, 2006. That's three entire days. SpamCop continues to be the leader, but Gmail puts in a very impressive performance, especially considering I have no whitelist filters established on it.
