For [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've counted 8 spams in 2003.
I may have missed one or two, but this looks negligible (<1%).

If you were talking about all the archives in general I've no
idea.  I guess it's probably worse on the bug lists since 
they are advertised a lot.  My favorite is the bug-automake
archive of 2002
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2002/
at some point during the summer gnu.org activated spamassassin,
and that shows!
