You read correctly, 12.99%!!
According to mrtg, the average across my servers is 85% spam on a good
day, 99% on a bad day. Currently we are looking at 86%. It's Monday,
lots of business legitimate mail going back and forth.
79% blocked by the MTA
7% more caught by SA
15% delivered (18,324 messages since midnight, we don't spam filter for
everyone, we do use MTA rules for everyone)
65% is rejected at MTA w/ RBLs
I wonder what percentage of this 65% is legit and blocked.
With an average of 200k to 260k messages a day, I have had two clients
who could not receive legitimate messages in the last six months. The
first client needed a single message, the second client needed three. So
in the last six months that makes our average... really small.
I'll bet I have 10 times that number of users go pull a message from
quarantine because SA hit a FP.
DAve
21% is caught by Spamassassin and not delivered.
12.99% is legit and delivered.
0.01% is spam that sneaks thru and delivered

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
