I'm trying to understand why my mail server is sending so many messages

The only test I have set to HOLD is the PERCENT

Just to make sure, your Imail is passing on mail to another server and

Hi Scott,
I've seen that in the last 16 days only 26 messages has triggered the
PERCENT test on our server.
All of them triggered also the REVDNS test. (because the % make's
impossible to resolve the domain?)
From this 26 there was only 6 that triggered another test (SPAMCHK)

The question: Why PERCENT should be a sign for spam that recieve 50%
