On my personal mail, the amount of spam seeping through the filters is
small. On our help desk (which includes our abuse desk) at work, we
only do greylisting since obviously any abuse from our network needs to
be able to get reported :-( This leads to a *lot* of crap in our abuse@
address, but there is damned little we can do about it, unfortunately.
It really depends on circumstances how much you can filter.
FWIW, I've had great success running SA on two role accounts I handle,
and another that I support wearing my sysadmin hat - with the tagging
threshold set to 8 instead of the default 5.
Some spam still slips through, but about the only things that have FPed
in the last four years or so were forwarded spam from spamfilter
customers. <g> A bit of procmail before calling SA has pretty much
eliminated that for the customers that regularly forward spam, and a
periodic scan of the spam folder traces the very rare few others.
This is still running with SA2.64, with the SURBL patch.
