My account that that I've had since 1991 receives 20,000 messages a day. 2 to 4 spam messages come to my inbox, and from 3 to 20 in my Junk E-mail folder with about half what makes it to my junk email folder marked by the hosted service.

The hosted service is called Mail Foundry. I got in early and only pay $0.99 per month per user. In July Mail Foundry was purchased by Barracuda. That's when the spam increased AND I started getting false positives. Before the ownership change I had gotten ZERO false positives in 7 years, ZERO! I noticed on their main page that they are now charging between $5 and $6 per user per month, Ouch.

Looks like I am going to be searching for another anti spam service!

I host the company Glen works for's email. Looked at their mail foundry statistics this morning. Of around 10,000 messages their company of 8 users received this month 10 total emails were classified as not spam. 99% of their email traffic is spam!
So sorry. We used them for years with great luck, but the last several months I have had to specifically go in an block ranges of IP addresses. The unit broke and we did not purchase another. We have a firewall that does well. It has some learning to do and there are a few false positives I have had to release but that is pretty easy.
