Personally, I'd never bit-bucket a message.  Always return to sender,
even if that means double-bounces on my end (which end up at dev null,
but at least the sender gets the chance to see the bounce if they
want).  This is important for false-positives so the sender knows what
happened.

That said, I use 7 as the return to sender threshhold, and 4 as the
mark for manual inspection level.

I use postfix + amavisd-new.  I believe the next release will have the
ability to mark at a certain threshhold and reject at another, and be
tunable per recipient.  But I'm not sure if these new features will
make it in.

Yes, there is lag.  But just think how long it takes to deliver
millions of messages.  Chances are sometimes you'll be the first
reporter, and sometimes not.  The overall effect is good, but it is
not 100%.

Just this weekend, I got some spam through that got into razor after I
recieved it, and it would have been sufficient to block those messages
had they already been listed.  That's just how it works.
