The FreeBSD mail hubs drop an incredible amount of spam. I don't know what the percentage of spam is that makes it through, but it's really really low. Yes, there are some that get through that seem pretty obvious to a human, unfortunately we don't have any humans to sit and sift through the thousands and thousands of emails that hit the mx hosts every day. No anti spam system is perfect, you make choices that affect how much spam gets through, versus how much legitimate mail gets dropped. The ratio of spam to legitimate mail that makes it through is probably in the hundreth of a percent range. Instead of complaining, or saying completely asinine things like "there is no anti spam on the lists" maybe send a thank you to postmaster@ that the lists are as usable as they are. How hard is it to just hit delete?
