UCE = Unsolicited Commercial Email - Mail asking for money
UBE = Unsolicited Bulk Email
Mail lists that you have signed up for do not qualify as the above, unless it is
a mail list that does not have or has a non-working unsubscribe function.
Mail lists where others have subscribed you by default without a positive
affirmative response from you qualifies as spam. This is referred to as double
opt-in list management.
Email from zombie, or open relay, or with otherwise forged header information
qualifies as spam.
Any of the above are legitimately intercepted and blocked at our mail server
boundary.
We do not accept mail to non-existent addresses, not do we "review" spam as it
is never accepted in the first place.
False positive? = Very rare, but in that event the sender will contact us by
other means at which time they can be white-listed if the recipient wants to
receive their email.
Statistics: Approximately 30 to 45% of all email attempting to deliver mail to
our server is blocked as spam. Some mail servers experience as much as 65% (or
higher) spam attempts. Approximately 100 virus mails are intercepted per hour
on a 24/7 basis. We currently receive, filter and then relay for 144 domains.

You are correct. I should not call all bulk email spam.
