Okay... sorry to reply to my own mail... I realized after I sent my message that it's not really fair for me to characterize SA's performance as negatively as I did. SA reduces the spam that hits the email address I have in mind by some ungodly factor
20, but when the mail you see in the end is still 3/4 spam, you
still aren't totally happy, y'know?

I'll second that. SA is awesome--with tweaking. Even so, if you have a published address that gets a lot of mail and is an initial point of contact, eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED], you're still going to get a significant amount of spam unless you're willing to live with false positives and/or spend a lot of time tweaking. I'm itching to try greylisting, too.
