Actually, I tend to find that it works rather well. I have filtered on
X-SBClass = Blocked and, even if it rejects some legitimate posts, it
is generally efficient. I think that X-SBClass = Spam are already
rejected at higher level ? I don't remember seeing anything like this in
the mails I receive.

And, Markus, believe me, there is a lot less spam now that there used to
be ;) (but of course I'd like to see spam eradicated from Earth... what
times are we living now, seriously; looks to me like the middle-age of
Internet).
