Of course, for a large body of blocked messages there are several/day
(at the current level of spam and current quality of countermeasures) which
are not recognized:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.2 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE
        autolearn=no version=3.1.0

I admit my current setup wouldn't help if spam went up by a couple or
two orders of magnitude, but then, it's rather a mouth-breather.
By the time I would have to sink serious resources into it I'd
be the first to admit that spam is no longer other people's problem.
