Our normal spam percentage is 73% (about 1 in 4 legitimate).
Recently we are at 82% (about 1 in 5 legitimate).  
There is always far more junk than legitimate for us.

Is it just me or does it seem like there is more spam out there than
there was a few months ago?   We have spam filters installed on our
exchange server and on average it would catch roughly a thousand
e-mails over a weekend.  Between last night and this afternoon there
were over 2500 messages.  Only have about 200 users and many of them
don't even use Internet email. It seems most spam is addressed to
users that don't exist in our organization.

What are the rest of you seeing with the amount of spam hitting your
mail servers?

I think between span and virus related e-mail we probably block more
e-mail than legitimate mail we actually want.
