Yeah, but it doesn't usually trigger my filters as they are more exact than so. 
I trigger on certain color codes (HTML snippets), URLs and such that are unique 
to spam. Its actually fairly effective since I usually get a spamwave that last 
like 1-2 months with like 10-20 spams a day with a common factor (a specific 
url, domain or color code) - I blacklist the common factor, and then the spam 
is gone for quite a period before the spamwave begins again.

Currently my content blacklist has like 5-6 entry's.

So just quoting a spam wont trigger it. It must be a verbatim copy, like 
attaching the spam to the email, that’s usually whats false triggers these 
filters. And no, I don't blacklist those that happen to often trigger the 
filters. Writing the HTML color code font tag in a email isn't enough for 
example, since the caret's that are copy+pasted in a email are encoded into 
< and > meaning they don't get catched in the spam filter.

You do know that happens, right?

Not so often here as on more spam-specific lists, but posts here quote enough 
spam that I'd be rejecting traffic from this list just for being from this list 
(i.e. as a chronic sender of janky content) if I didn't have strong safeguards 
in place.
