I'm probably one of those email admins he hates. A couple months ago, our company's execs decided they were tired of getting offers for "vi*gra" and "h*t ho*ny te*ns". I set up spam-assassin to mark and deliver emails. I told the users what we were doing and told them to tell me when email was marked as spam but wasn't. I dutifully white listed the mail lists, even joke-of-the-day. Then, about a month ago, I put the system into full-delete mode. I bumped the threshold up to 7.0 and reply to all messages marked as spam with a polite message telling them that their message has been flagged as being spam-like. I log everything so I can track what went into the dumper.
Over that month, we have bounced around 25% of incoming mail, 7100+ emails total. I have gotten zero complaints about legitimate email going lost. In fact the only complaints I've gotten are about the (very) few spams that still get by or around the filter.
