We've here a constant value of 10 - 12% during workday and around 30% on weekends. This because during weekends there are not so much real messages. The values are based on a system with 350 domains 650 mailboxes and 2500 incomming messages/day.
Reporting from 01/01/2003 to yesterday on my personal mailbox: I recieve around 54 messages per day (without control, notification and list-messages) 1.5 of them whas spam that passed the declude-tests 12.5 of them was hold by declude. Based on this values and other 7 monitored mailboxes on our system I can assume that we hold 88 to 90% of incomming spam. What can be the cause that we have only such a low spam ratio? 2/3 of our domains are from italy (.it tld) -> International spammers filter out country tld's? On the other side we've a lot of italian spam and nearly 0 german spam, even if over 90% of our clients are german. -> country spammers filter for it-domains! The average lifetime of our domains and their mailboxes is 1.5 year. This should be time enough to be found from spammers.

I have a user that receives over 10,000 spam emails a day. I personally get about 500 spam to 50 real emails a day. Of those, typically around 5-10 get past Declude.

Spam messages account for over 75% of our incoming messages (we're an ISP).
