Hi Jeroen, As has been pointed out, a LOT of spam is filtered, but the filters are tuned to minimize false-positives. The side-effect is that some spam still gets through. An interesting solution of partial moderation has been proposed, but implementation is stalling, maybe you are interested in helping out? Look under the bugs for the pseudo-package lists.debian.org.
