Actually, it's missing out on the phrases, dnsbl, urlbl, and even the
statistics.  It basically continues on to delivery despite being tagged by
various components of the antispam as spam.  What I've done and it seems to
be working rather well, is that I have set up inbound rules for each domain
(one rule per domain) so that anything with the anti-spam x-headers ends up
in the same catchall account as normally filtered spam.  It managed to cut
down the spam load on the client side to nearly nothing.  This has actually
allowed me to use a feature the iMail Anti-Spam lacks, the ability to review
dns blacklisted emails just like any other.  I can't believe how out of
control this spam problem is, just yesterday the server processed 23K total
emails, 5K of that was spam.  I'm sure other companies have it worse, but
yikes!

Yes, Declude JunkMail lets you do this.  The default setting is to only 
scan the IP that connects to the IMail server, but there is a lot of 
flexibility for scanning other IPs (such as scanning all IPs that the 
E-mail travels through, just bypassing the IPs of your gateway/backup 
mailservers, or just scanning up to one hop away from your server).
