this would be a straight sample, before filtering, ip address
blocking, etc.
i realize this is difficult, as all of us go through much effort to
reject this stuff as early as possible.  but it will be a sample
unbiased by your filtering techniques.
How do you classify email as spam without adding bias?

reasonable question.  i suspect you pull out the 0.5% of the inbound you
actually wanted and consider the bias small.  as the dnsbls alone block
way over 90% of the inbound here, i would not classify that as small.
