It has been a while. Some current spam stats from our border appliance:
That is a lot of spam. The 'Zombie' class are connections rejected due to IP reputation. Between zombies and outright spam detections, 95% of all incoming mail has been rejected over the last 30 days. Shortly after the McColo shutdown that percentage dropped a lot. We're now back to where we were before the shutdown.
