I can't imagine that you are SPAMMED in the 3000-l mail 10631 times.

Did you ever put a filter on your mail?

This is the standard spammer's argument. The problem is that it doesn't
scale. My system - with just a few users - rejected 10631 spams last week.
Hitting delete that many times would take a substantial amount of my time,
never mind the actual amount of time needed to look at each and decide that
it's not worth reading. Just one second per message would have wasted nearly
three hours, total.

Standup guys don't spam.

No doubt. Unfortunately, his method of helping is worse.
