Test results are nice to read but thats it. Moreover: how fast? How expensive? 
What about clustering? 99% effective with how many false positives etc. Does it 
fight backscatter? What I am saying is that there is more to it than this one 
figure.

People: maybe. I did not do so. So if you want to accuse them, go ahead but 
leave me out of this loop. Please provide a link which describes what exactly 
they are doing. The things I could find justify "peoples" statements a bit 
since most of what I read can indeed be done with standard MTAs. Then they use 
a reputation network (in the commercial version only?) so they do not have to 
do the interesting tests themselve on the box. If I failed to see the magic of 
the product please enlighten me and please apologize.

See above. From memory. Detailed description of all tests, options, error 
messages etc.
