You may think, but from what's been said previously on this list, that
single filter alone blocks around one spam message every three minutes. I
think we'd all agree that that is "A Good Thing".

That said, I'm not an admin of the mail server at freebsd.org, and I'm sure
they would be more qualified to answer as to whether (and why) other
methods of blocking spam do or do not work.
