But this also misses the point -- mandatory filtering is *bad*. I should be able to receive my email without it first going into a possibly 2-3 hour back-logged queue waiting to be filtered before it is sent to me. My account alone can easily get 1000 emails a day. Multiply that by 100,000 users...maybe average .5 seconds extra time added per email -- that's 2000 minutes of delay (divided by however many servers) they have doing filtering -- and it isn't, of course, evenly spread throughout the day, but bunches like traffic jams at various times of the day.... :-(.
Umm, and what makes you think that anyone running a spam filtering system is going to have a 2 to 3 hour backlog processing incomming messages ? Thats absolutely rediculous.
A 0.5 second delay scanning a message means exactly that - that your email will arrive 0.5 seconds later. No sooner, no later. How you figure that you have to multiply that by number of users they have I have no idea... :)
