This is hyperbole.

What it really means is that 95% of the mail processed by someone's
commercial spam filter has been classified, possibly incorrectly, as
spam.  The rates are much lower (though still too high for comfort) if
false positives are accounted for.

See, for example:  http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=conWebDoc.14617
