It's been a while since I've been an SMTP server admin but when I was I managed a few hundred thousand mailboxes under different domains. Most likely know one knows about your domain and it has little traffic. On average I saw users domains get around 5 spam to 1 ham. Of course you have outliers. I had one domain that received around 1000 spam to 1 ham. That was a domain that looked like it could belong to a university and it got absolutely flooded.
