It has been my impression that for many years about 90% of the mail a system typically recieves is spam. Most of it is easy to filter so the amount that gets into a user's mailbox is a lot less. I sure see a lot of attempted deliveries on my small MTAs.
I ask because I've ben looking at a paper that asserts that the number is about 50% and has been for a long time, which just seems wrong. What sort of numbers to people here see? Are there any credible published estimates? Way too many of the numbers I see are basically someone says I set up a mailbox and counted mail messages for a week and then multiplied by ten billion.
