I have multiple email addresses.  I'm seeing from 1% on this email to 
99% on my bellsouth address.  Of course, the only valid mail I get on 
the bellsouth account is from bellsouth.  I've never given it to anyone 
however I receive hundreds of spam messages a day to that address.  Most 
of them get caught by the bellsouth filters (90%).  I get >50% on my 
mindspring account.  It's my sense that I get about the same number of 
spam messages on most of my addresses, but depending on how many legit 
messages the percentage varies.
