Although there are tons of 'em (80 or so at last count), you get to pick
which ones you use. Lots of them are the "spam hater" types (such as XBL,
which lists all Sprint and uunet IPs that they can find), but lots are
better than that. Most of them have occasional (some with much more than
occasional) false positives, but a weighting system works around that (only
catching legitimate mail from the most poorly designed mailservers).
Of course, if your phones aren't ringing now about the spam, it may not be
much of an issue for you. Different domains/users have different "spam
profiles", so some people get very little spam while others get lots.
