I see between 83-85% spam. We use SARE rules + my own home-brew rules + the new BLACK uribl lists + unreleased SARE rules. In the past 24 hours the numbers are: spam-reject 55,967 mail-in 11,089 total-mail 67,056
Viruses not included in this count, it would skew things due to the recent increase in new viruses lately.

On another topic, I see just as many user-unknowns as I reject spam. That's cause we are an ISP and customers like to switch stuff around often ;)

70% of my inbound traffic is for unknown users, 20% spam/malware and 10% real mail.
The figures are even worse if I remove the various the email lists I'm on like this one :-)
