The fact that you use graylisting as a means of eliminating spam as a 1st line 
of defense is makes your "9% of incoming mail is spam" as VERY anecdotal for 
the purposes of this discussion. Please, don't confuse issues here. MANY people 
prefer to not use graylisting (for a variety of reasons)... and their 
proportions of incoming spam (prior to being filtered) really is more like your 
previous "used to be >80%". Therefore, for the rest of us non-graylisters... 
this really could be beneficial.

I think that this depends of a variety of real world factors which might be 
very different from published standards.

Cami... why don't we just count you as a "no vote" for my idea and let others 
weigh in on it and, certainly, I'm sure they will take into account all of the 
good valid point point you brought up.
