Every solution to handle mail is only usable for 6 months to one
year. Even magic things like greylisting or challange response
looses their effectiveness after some time and we need to start
the next round fighting for our mailservers.

Each round takes mor hardware, software. complexity, time to
implement and money.

Most small ISPs and business mail admins will loose the war
sooner or later. The customers will switch to the
pre-email-communication-tools like phone and fax. You don't
believe it? Look to the mailserver I operate in the business.
More then 90% of the mail is unwanted. Universities are typically
locations where the futute is a bit closer...

Nice tool, but not the right "hammer" for spam sourced from large
bot networks - a quite usual event today.
