    They will notice it - but mostly in commercial mails, as they use
    html-code and images heavily. But this mails are up to 75% not wanted.
    Whether this a good thing or bad thing.. You have to evaluate for
    yourself.
    I use SpamAssassin in conjunction with a comercial Anti-Virus-Scanner at
    the central mailgateway, and this combination is a quite good thing.
    (given that av-database is regularly - best daily - updated).

    Greetings,

             Lars
