_M, I'm still not sure I'm clear, what do you mean by captured and what constitutes a "reporting system". 92% is remarkable, relative to other stats I've seen, what rate/amount of false positives does that same configuration generate? Are you explaining the way a system behaves or just how your numbers are calculated?
Spam traps are something I have yet to create, whats the best way to implement them? Specifically, do you distribute them across domains or does it matter and what are the best ways to infect them? Do you use customer domains and if so, what happens if/when they leave your ISP/protection?
