Made me curious, so I made some stats from my own mail server, just using data from yesterday... 95.5% spam 4.5% ham 9,007,657 rejected at MTA (total) 8,798,311 rejected at MTA (not counting SA) 8,390,034 rejected not due to invalid recipients/syntax errors 420,019 scored as spam 210,673 accepted and scored as spam 377,420 accepted and scored as ham 27,579 accepted, but never scored 8600707 is spam (rejected not due etc + accepted and scored spam) 404999 is ham (accepted and scored ham + never scored) 9005706 total messages (above two numbers) Certain SpamAssassin-related numbers might not add up 100% since I got some stuff from the SpamAssassin logs, and others from sa-exim's output in exim's logs, but it should be more or less right. Most of the MTA rejects come from XBL/SBL/PBL and some in-house blacklists. XBL/SBL/PBL don't even get to RCPT TO, so perhaps would have been sent to invalid recipients or what not had we given them the chance. -- Gus
