It's also tough to configure correctly site-wide, and can take up a serious
CPU load as different users run wildly different rulesets and begin to
cut+paste in each other's recipes, many of which are frankly wrong.
It's difficult to provide a reliable, invisible service for users such as
"blocking all the !@#$ spam". A friend of mine is working on some more,
well, *interesting* content based filters: lighter weight, operates locally
on the SMTP server and doesn't have the serious DNS zone transfer problems
of the various black lists: the results of it so far are promising.
