I don't understand these figures. Ah, this is for the complete mail
server. That explains why there was say 128 received on Oct 4, yet
only a handful in the list archive.

Do you at least have spamassassin running? It would be interesting to
see how many of the rejected emails spamassassin also decided were
spam. Could you configure postfix to keep a copy of the rejected. I
can then manually perform some tests with spamassassin and see how
good it is.
