To be honest, I would say from my experience it is around 90% catch rate, maybe a little better. I am using other services that are closer to 98-99% and that is what I am used to. I believe mxroute uses mainly Spamassassin with public RBL's like Barracuda, Spamhaus, that sort of thing. He's also installed several custom filters based on spam that has gotten through. In my opinion Spamassassin and public RBL's aren't as effective as some paid services that specialize in spam filtering. Postlayer and MXGuardDog have been more effective and very inexpensive, so I use them as the main filtering and send to mxroute after that. All that being said, I get a LOT of spam attempts, probably several hundred a day.
