11% ??
I do not know how it is with you, but in my household I think less then 11%
of the paper that is thrown in the mailbox is 'real' mail. The rest is
unsollicited 'junk'. So I think 11% 'might' be reasonable...

[Postini] manages e-mail for about 3,300 companies and 5 million e-mail
users. Postini uses its own algorithms to spot spam, denial-of-service
attacks and other threats by analyzing the behavior of
Internet-connected machines that send e-mail and, after that, the
message content.=20
Since October 2003, the company began aggregating information on
Internet Protocol addresses of machines attempting to e-mail its
customers and dropping connection attempts from IP addresses that are
behaving suspiciously. Since that time, the percentage of dropped
connections swelled from 35% of all connections to the current 53%, he
said.=20
...
Of the 47% of e-mail connections accepted, 76% of the mail accepted is
spam and 1% to 2% are viruses. Only 11% of the 10.75 billion SMTP
connections the company receives each month constitutes legitimate
e-mail messages, Postini said.=20

Dick,
I fear that the reference to spam could end email as we know it is a
reasonable truth.
