Recently the topic of spam on the Debian lists was revisited. I laugh at somebody who recieves 200 spam messages a day.

Here's my stats for yesterday:

                                          Total Mails    : 6399
                                          Total SPAM     : 6077
                                          Total Accepted : 322

                                          Spam Percentage: 94.97%

That's 6077 mails rejected at SMTP time via my filters, and only 322 mails accepted.

The breakdown of the spam rejected looks like this:
