Hello Kevin, I use a combination of weighted system and cold block system. But I'm slowely moving into a fully weighted system.
Today if the offender is sending from a spamcop listed server the messages gets held. If sent from a ORDB listed server we bounce the message. If the total weight is over 20 I hold it and if it's over 30 I delete it. We deliver around 4-5k messages daily and that is after killing around 60% of all the incoming messages. Rarely we get complains about the ORDB bounced messages. Never had anyone that so far complained about never gotten a message (deleted spamcop messages). Of the held messages we very rarely see any legit messages in the hold queue. Sometimes a person is sending a message from a broken Mac e-mail client from an ISP that doesn't have any reverse dns setup and the provider don't support abuse and postmaster so the messages gets held (I dropped the postmaster and abuse test down a little bit in weight so these messages no longer gets held). I'm very active on numerous public mailing lists. Got my e-mail address posted all over the place on webpages and everywhere else possible and today I might get 4-5 junkmail per week instead of 10+ per day before. The best investment we done after we got Imail to replace our old crappy SmartMax Mailmax mailserver which all a sudden after a patch turned into an open mail relay which the developers refused to see or acknowledge (all their suggestions on settings where correct and it didn't do this until AFTER a patch had been applied to their software that they released).
