Hi Jason, Here are my stats from a 12 week period (11/11/03 - 2/1/2004) (Stats are what made it past custom blacklists & two RBLs on the firewall, incoming mail only) Total Mail 1,067,131 Ham Total 424,871 (40%) Spam Total 642,260 (60%) If we included the rejects at the firewall, virii messages, etc. we would be around 20% ham -matt
