David, When it comes to business it comes down to cost justification. While figuring for the costs for my organization it is worth about $20.00 per month for us (basing my figures on how many messages get through). With that in mind, it would have to be 100% effective in stopping the messages that get through, if it doesn't then cost justification goes even lower. For us it would have to catch the messages that our bayes, Spam Assassin, and Razor isn't catching to become cost effective. If it catches the same messages that those are catching then it holds no value. Of course, the larger the organization, such as a large University or large corporation, it might carry more value. Just my two cents.
