Not really. But, why do you think you are getting 84% (or higher) spam while the internet as a whole only sees 50-60%?
Some IMGate sites, with essentially the same rules, get in the 50's. But the majority are usually well over 60, and some are 80+% all day every day.
As I said, I find the variation from ISP to ISP dramatic and inexplicable.
It's happened to several times, when I pick up a new blacklist or rule that does extremely well on one site, and then take it another site, excited to see excellent increment of rejects, and blah, nada.
One site was getting 0 rejects which another site was getting several 1000/day with the same filter. I really thought I had screwed up something on the 0 site, so I moved the rule to the top of the list of restrictions, and bam, the rejects started piling up immediately.
Same with the "subscriber networks". I could see 1000's of connects (just connects, not rejects) from those nets, so I figured the subscriber filter would add a huge increment of rejects when added to the bottom of the list of filters (first match, wins). It did catch a welcome bunch of real crap, but not as much as I expected. What happened? This was a dramatic demonstration that all those subscriber connects were just spamming, and being already mostly caught with other techniques before "subscriber" filter could get to them. So the subscriber filter got only slim pickens, but it was still all crap.
