Same for lists.debian.org. Just to give an impression from yesterdays
statistics:
94108 delivery attempts (incoming)
51598 messages received (in total)
rest blocked by whatever RBL
10426 messages feed to spam search software
rest already cought by static filtering
1523 messages tagged as "no spam"
=======================================
~1% of delivery attempts (incoming) is still send out to the lists
If we now say, that out of these 1523 mails, ~150 mails are still spam,
this makes a 0.1% rate of spam that is still deleivired to the lists.
I belive that a rate of 0.1% is quite an acceptable rate, but we
permanently try to lower that. Perhaps we should really propose a "Day
of No Spam-Filtering" on lists.d.o. ;-)
Greetings
Martin
