Sorry I missed that. However...

Of your remaining 5-10% that actually get out of your machine, what
percentage subsequently respond to the challenge?

By your own admission, you're managing to deliver between 25 and 50
challenges per day. Unless you're acquiring a similar number of
new addresses onto your whitelist every day (in which case, you're
more friendly and sociable than you sound), you're inconveniencing
a fairly large number of innocent bystanders.
