The biggest problem I have with SA is that it gets it wrong often enough to be
basically worthless. I mean, great - you filter on subject line, looking for
"{Spam?}", but then you still have to go thru the junk folder in order to
look for false positives, and then you end up reading through all the "P3n1s
P|LLS" emails.
Gee, didn't we want to avoid this?
Greylisting + blacklists equals good performance, no false positives, and
greatly reduced spam volume, and usually reduced server loads as well. The
blacklists I use are xbl-sbl.spamhaus.org, and the dialup/dsl list, as well
as a few worst-offender countries. (EG: China, Korea, and Russia)
