I don't get it.. unless you have some big honeypot, maybe 5% of traffic

You can even easily create separate scanning queue for OCR, so it doesn't
interfere with normal traffic.
You may have missed that I'm in the image industry - a great deal of
what we do is imagery including imagery with text in it, and as we have
to scan all images over a particular size, it would require more cpu
than is worth it.
Ok that's fair. But you probably meant: scan everything _under_ SpamAssassin
scan size. That's only whole messages less than ~256kB to be scanned by
default in most software. I guess if you get images from all over, you can't
whitelist etc then.
Lemme run it past you one more time - images are money in my world. I
can't make mistakes. The right image is worth millions of dollars.
Blocking such an image is something that's going on my resume'. Nobody
knows where the next big image is coming from, so the rule is caution,
caution, caution. It does not apply to everyone, certainly. I envy
others who can bitch slap image spam vendors with little regard. That
would be cool. I can't do it. I know how but don't dare. It's probably
why I get pissy :)
