SINGAPORE -- Bill Gates, the chairman and founder of Microsoft, receives millions of e-mail messages a day, said Steve Ballmer, the company's chief executive."Bill literally receives 4 million pieces of e-mail per day, most of it spam," Ballmer said Thursday.Spam or junk e-mails are unsolicited messages, generally advertising goods or services and usually sent to many e-mail accounts simultaneously.Ballmer said Microsoft has special technology that just filters spam intended for Gates. In addition, several Microsoft employees are dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox."Literally, there's a whole department, almost, that takes care of it," he said.Ballmer was in Singapore for the company's Government Leader's forum, which ends Friday.
