Wow, that's a serious number of messages to get a day. I doubt I've even had that many in all my years on email! :eek4:

The thing that gets me is that if he were to download them at the rate of 2 per second, it would take more than 6 hours a day just to collect his mail. Frightening thought.  :eek4:

But I think a lot of people do that and don't get anywhere near that volume of spam. :eek4:

It depends on the sites he visits, I guess...
