We reject 500-700 a day using RBLs and those marked as spam that do come through total <5% of total mail delivery. I get maybe one unmarked spam a day. We train the bayes database and I never see it again. However we have a high number of system and software generated emails as part of our work flow so that skews the numbers I'm sure. We use MailScanner and SA with ClamAV for viri. Mike
