Some Real Data from my DSPAM Stats Engine

Well, I get a fair bit of mail these days.  Some can attest that my response to personal email can be at times, a bit slow.  Thank goodness for DSPAM.  I use a variety of e-mail clients (Linux-Evolution,  Windows-Outlook,  OSX-SeaMonkey, etc.) so having great spam filtering on the server, and NOT on the email client is very important to me.   Since DSPAM provides a nice GUI for analysis of spam,  I thought I would share with you my experience to date.   Here are my stats, noting that more than 3/4 of my mail is spam, and accuracy on delivery is over 97%, which is quite manageable. Not bad for free, and without a team reviewing emails for me.  I might say it is great.  A must for anyone who wants to publish their email address without fear of spammers.
