is rumored to have said:
I don't think someone can drop almost all mail and still call itself a
mail server.
Were you running a mail system in the early-mid 2000s?
At that time, I tracked the performance of a mid-sized spam control
system for a business that handled around a million inbound SMTP
sessions per day. The proportion of mail we rejected as spam was
persistently over 90%, and at times broke 98%. We never had a
significant FP problem.
The state of email is better today, but I wouldn't be at all surprised
if some sites still have a 90%+ spam burden.
