This morning I had a chance to measure the amount of spam I get -- about 40% of incoming mail. I was away for the weekend, so a lot of email collected on the POP servers; that gave me that chance to count spam from a large batch of messages. I fetched 1618 messages; Spambayes marked 628 as spam and 71 as unsure.
