Alan knows of what he speaks.

Our spamtrap domains are about as bad:

DATE                    PASS   BLOCK    FILT SPAMTRP     CPT
20030226              297092   33250   16817  970828     191
20030227              316610   31600   11376  820258     211
20030228              262716   33066    8282  825232     190
20030301               83534   24279    6285  709274      56

20030304              297998   27606    9590  866320     149
20030305                   0       0       0  568238     120

PASS = email getting thru (production email)
BLOCK = IP-based blocking (DNSBL and local, production email)
FILT = content filtering (production email)
SPAMTRP = spamtrap domains.
CPT = end-user complaints on what got thru (production email). We 
average one or two complaints per hundred spams that get thru.

The last day only shows complaints and spamtrap so far today.  Don't get 
other three numbers til tomorrow.
