I don't process emails I consider spam (Which is based on a number of factors) and your right, if I just did statistics on all incoming mail the results would be much different. Since it's a testing tool, I try not to send a response to spam.
Most of the emails are from people testing to see if they have everything set up correctly. They get a report back that looks similar to this: http://unlocktheinbox.com/resources/emailauthentication/ within a few minutes. I say a good 80% of the emails that are process are from legit people testing. Most people end up putting "Test" in the subject line, with repeat iterations trying to get everything to pass cleanly. I should add a counter for the # of emails I just disregard. I did a quick search for paypal on my block list and quite a few emails showed up (which don't get processed). There are actually people who have 512 bit SSL set up, even though it says 0%, it's really a number under 0.5% due to rounding. It's just stats - I hoping over time it might provide some useful trending.

What sort of corpus are you testing? I expect that if you added in some papypal phishes, the pass ratio would drop through the floor. R's, John
