Unfortunately, ClearMyMail is not actually naming names. At least not all of them. Instead it has probably wisely chosen to publish the spam statistics of those users instead. The Top 5 most spammed individuals in the UK had the following amount of email blocked, on average, by ClearMyMail every day: 44,001 (Orange ISP) 13,578 (Orange ISP) 12,428 (Private domain using 123-reg/GX Networks) 5,760 (Orange ISP) 3,982 (Private domain using 123-reg/GX Networks) One person who has stepped forward and agreed to be named is Colin Wells, a bus company workshop foreman and holder of the not at all coveted title of the UK's most spammed man.
