We deliver around 3 million messages per day to users inboxes, 87%-93%
of which we identify as spam and filter to a spam folder on a regular
basis.

That doesn't include the very very large number of attempted deliveries
from SMTP servers that try to pipeline data which are blocked, or the
20%-25% messages which are discarded at our edge servers due to an
extremely high spam score.
