I've been running TMDA for about a year now.  My small mail server,
prior to TMDA, was receiving an average of 20-30 spams a day.  A year
later, I'm lucky to be receiving 5 spams a day.  I received very
little from the recent worms (maybe I have no friends???).  

I believe (totally anecdotal) that TMDA has indirectly contributed to
my spam reduction.  Why, though, I can't quite put my finger
to... One idea is that I'm using dated addresses for nearly all my
outbound mail, and the strange format isn't picked up by most page
scrapers.  I'm sure there are some other variables involved I'm not
identifying, but I was curious if others have noticed an overall
decrease in spam (at the mail server, not as a result of non-delivery)
after deploying TMDA.

Sounds like a good research project for some motivated computer
science major...
