Does anyone have actual stats of what sort of percentage of their traffic is spam? I don't really have any easy way to get that right now, unless I make my mail server output message size stats in to log files, or something. I'm curious as to whether anyone else has an easy way to get it that I'm missing.
Measured by attempted messages (which admittedly isn't exactly byte volume), we reject roughly 97% ~ 99%. On a really good day this can drop to 94%; on a bad day it has topped 99.2%. And that doesn't count the false negatives; I can't give you an exact rate for those other than to say "small". -Martin
