The primary MX server is a little wilder though:

0.000          0     206774          0  non-token data: nspam

0.000          0     917146          0  non-token data: ntokens

I hope that's OK (the wide disparity between nham and nspam).

No experience with that bias -- however, my guess is that is not ok.

According to the docs, "about equal" is best. Though it also has been reported, that 10 times more spam than ham works just fine.

I got the impression that the goal was to have a ratio that roughly reflected the spam:ham ratio of your raw mail stream. If Jim gets 17 times more ham than spam, the above would be reasonable.
