I completely understand what you say. But please understand I already
considered those "issues" and that my decision to use a such system was
thinked before. The antispam feature of Imail is unsecure, and my customers
urge me to provide them a spam challenge system. I will use myself that
system like every satisfied customers that use that system.

We have thousand users. I have some mailboxes that are filled with 300+
spams everyday (it's a reality). This is becoming completely unusable.
Filters just work... Sometimes...
