Default Email Spam Ratio?

What's your ratio between real email and just spams that you daily get?

Mine is about 95% Spam and 5% real ones (on lucky days)!

My email used to be really bad. I had the same email address since 1993 at my own little domain name. It was spamed constantly. I deleted the old email and cranked up the filters and it's much better.

Shit you mean your supposed to get reall email!!

I always thought that email was only for spam!!

I generally get 1 out of 100 emails that is not spam.
And lord have mercy on me if I go away from the compute for more than 2 days.
I was away for 3 weeks last month, nothing like coming back online and finding 4,000 emails and only 25 of them where personal sponsor biz related.
3975 spammed emails, and I had to go through most of them just to make sure they weren't from somebody special.

Well the filters will now be working over time, the next time I have to go away.

Most of the spam I get goes to my Yahoo account. It's about a 98% to 2% (spam to real) on that account.
I'm much luckier on my "normal" accounts, but disappointed in a lot of ways because most of the spam I get is webmaster spam. Obviously, my emails have been harvested from webmaster boards.
