I've several layers of spam defense. Nothing as draconian and time consuming as blocking subnets from various countries when the supposed need arises. At most, 10~15 emails/day sneak in and are marked as potential spam. Those that make it through are generally of the stock purchase or Nigerian scam variety. Haven't seen a life enhancing email in ages nor have I had false positives. But, it sounds as if this thread has switched gears from "OOO broken" to "whose your spammer". :-)
