Perhaps you misunderstood. More than 70% of ALL traffic is captured on average for reporting systems. The base includes non-spam as well. In terms of a percentage of spam, Declude has published statistics consistently showing 85% or more of all incoming spam. On our system it is closer to 92% counting what comes from all spam traps.
