We are running spam assassin plus a whole bunch of custom procmail, as
well as something called cross-assassin which gets cross posts against
lists.
For those wondering about the numbers, as far as this month is
concerned, 376 messages (3.3 Mb) did not make it onto the list. This
includes 207 emails stopped by cross assassin, and 90 stopped by spam
assassin.
