Help!! URGENT!!

[Martin Hepworth]

HI

yup - prob around 90% for us as well (averaged over a week). I've got 
one domain that we have (to trap email typo's) that hardly gets any 
proper email (maybe two a week) and over 3500 spams a week, which is 
what the solid-state-logic.com domain gets all together (spam and ham).

I'm thinking of dropping that domain..:-)
