I'm moving this discussion into the Declude forum, where it belongs... Markus Gufler stated:

It's a sore subject that we won't get into right now. If we filter what we know is junk, somebody in upper management will get upset because they missed their latest 'junk' mail. That is why we wanted a per-user type of interface...so that those people can manage their own junk. It might actually be better that we give those select few software such as IHateSpam and let them completely manage their own, while we do, in fact, control all of the rest of us...I get over 200 emails a day, and mostly of junk....by myself.
