UTS

I got my UTS email running after a gap between Sept 2024 and now – I was officially disengaged for that intervening period but they must have kept the email box open.

When someone leaves they shouldn’t keep the email address open, right?

Guess what, the emails had kept coming in for all that time. 6,300 of them with a handful of real ones. Most of it is spam though, from UTS itself.

I chucked it at GPT and got;

UTS appears to generate about 40,000 internal spam email deliveries a day across its 4,264 FTE staff. At an average of 30 seconds to notice, scan and dismiss each message, that consumes about 220,000 staff hours over 661 days, equivalent to roughly 125 employee-years, or 69 full-time staff every year, spent processing internal spam email.

Good job, UTS!
