The number is forecast to grow to 6.7 GB per year by 2011.

But her firm, the Radicati Group, recently published a report that estimates that 78 percent of the 210 billion messages sent worldwide each day are unsolicited.

The total number of messages circulating worldwide is projected to be 442 bn, with 351 bn as spam.
