FWIW, In another mailing list I follow someone posted the percentages of inbound email they were rejecting. That got me curious, so I checked my logs from yesterday. On my main MX we rejected 37% of the inbound messages. On the secondary MX we rejected 96%. Its pretty consistent that most of the traffic to the secondary MX is junk (at least when the primary is up). The percentages that the original poster listed were in the same ballpark.
