I will leave hardware recommendations to others for now.

However spam/ham ratios I can provide. Currently we are seeing typical spam/ham numbers above 77%. Often this number flirts with 80+. This is based on logs from approximately 100 systems. Live data updated several times per day:

Based on what I've seen/experienced 90% is not unusual these days for a small isp depending upon your mix of customers.

Hope this helps,

We are currently looking to upgrade our mail server.  Lately the
processing of the CPU has causing the SMTP to be working real slow,
causing a lot of timeouts.  We currently we are running a P3 1.133GHz
with 512MB RAM.  We are looking to upgrade to a dual processor.

I was wondering if anybody was willing to share what type of server
hardware they are using and if anybody had any recommendations on the
CPU power and RAM to have optimal performance.

Also I was wondering what amount of SPAM is being received by other
ISPs.  Currently over 90% of all incoming mail to our server is SPAM.  I
just wanted to see if this is normal for an ISP.
