Somewhere around 85% of all mail attempts to us are summarily rejected because the source is in some block list or other, resulting in the spam not being delivered to our user's inboxes as the spammer intended, largely because it is recognized as spam.

CNN recently reported that 90% of all email on the internet is spam. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/11/27/uk.spam.reut/index.html David Hester
