We have foreign language emails from foreign countries, so this and other
assumptions about content are a big no-no.

Ditto.

We are using Postini. It is a spam filtering service from Google at 3$ per
email address (aliases are free) per year. We have no load they are
promising the API will be re-enabled in the upcoming weeks.

We have only had 2 messages with a false positive and one with a false
negative. Mail volume is around 10,000 messages per day. Latency is next to
zero.

Sorry for the advert, but its what we are using.
