I know that most (90%+) email sent now is spam, but what are the numbers for people who use spam filtering? I realize it varies by user, sensitivity to false positives, tools used, etc, but do people who use spam filtering find that only 10% of the messages they receive are spam? 25%? 50%? higher? I'd like something quasi-official if possible, so I can tell my bosses: according to this report, even with diligent spam filtering, xx% of the email people receive is still spam. If fewer than xx% of your email is spam, we're ahead of the curve.
Well, I'm in the spam filtering business and it varies creatly per domain. I have a few domain that only 1 in 10,000 messages are good. By those with the worst spam tend to need my services more.
