Mine's checking some four of them at point of injection and another three
at time of scanning, for mails which get past the injection stage.
Add on bayesian scanning and about 97 other options, and of the uo tp 3.4
million spams[1] we get per day now, we catch about 90%.
Which means up to 340,000 spams potentially get through, per day, yet we
actually have one of the better filtering setups around.

Which is exactly what you have, actually. Imagine that.

Such as yourself? Yes, well. Fine. Have a nice life. We won't miss you.
[1] Historical peak: 2400 spams per minute. Should really be rated
higher, as that's just the ones that make it past the point of injection -
i.e. the ones that actually get scanned and flagged, rather than nuked
on entry.
