Since Feb 1st:

Total number of emails processed by the spam filter : 80969
Number of spams                         :     11024 ( 13.62%)
Number of clean messages                :     69945 ( 86.38%)
Average message analysis time           :      4.28 seconds
Average spam analysis time              :      4.18 seconds
Average clean message analysis time     :      4.30 seconds
Average message score                   :      1.88
Average spam score                      :     14.61
Average clean message score             :     -0.23

I should add that around 7000 of those went to just 20 people out of around
600 mailboxes.

I use RBL filtering on our most heavily spammed users.. without that I dread
to think what the stats would be because 14% seems pretty bloody good based
on what people have posted so far!

Subject: Spam Statistics


Hello,

I am under the gun to prove a point.  We have a spambox account that 
catches roughly 500-700 spams per day, company wide.  We have about 10 
highly active email users.  My boss thinks it's rediculous that so much 
spam is being sent to us.  Very little spam actually gets to the users.  
He's upset that spam comes in at all.  He thinks it's just our 
organization that receives all this spam.  What I would like to have is 
some typical statistics to show him that it's not just our orginization 
that receives spam.  Are there any resources out there to look this up?  
Would any of you be willing to divulge your spam statistics?

Thanks,

Jason
