Our ISP (VISI - Minnesota) started using Postini last spring.
http://www.postini.com/

All of our quarantined (spam) messages can be viewed on my ISP's
server. I usually just block delete 400 at a time - after a quickie
glance to see if I recognize anyone.


Postini does a pretty good job, although I like Britemail a bit better
(virtually zero false positive rate, at the cost of letting a few more
spams through).

I monitor what our system here classes as spam, and it varies a bit from
week to week. Right now I am showing just over 17,000 from last night.
Just a few months ago it would have been more like 3000. Needless to say,
I don't check for false positives, which is why I'd rather let a few spam
get through than not.
