Thanks, that's helpful.

From one of my mailservers;
   3525    RCPT TO commands in
   2794    connections
almost all of it to spamtrap addresses.

A considerably higher ratio, but still much less than 2:1.

Two data points - probably not enough to draw valid conclusions,
but still way better than zero data points.  It would be nice 
to see data from a domain with large numbers of users, 
like aol or hotmail.
