Our rejects on our postfix gateway (for dictionary attacks, and to weed out the malformed stuff) have been in a steady decline since around the first of the year. I had to bring in some spam stats for a meeting to justify the time spent setting up IMGate and I made a chart which showed just the accepts/rejects per day for the first two months this year and the decline in rejects was obvious. You can see it at the link below:

Since subscriber networks are a huge source of spam, 30 -40%?, as network operators start blocking egress to port 25, there could be noticeable reduction. But not many operators, not the worst violators, are blocking port 25, yet. I think it was AOL who reported 15% drop a few weeks ago.
