Quite so. We don't aim for 100% blocking, we can tolerate a few leaking thru each month. A few each day would be too much.
I have been monitoring what our filters do catch; sometimes there are things I prefer not to be captured, which means we have to fine-tune the filters a bit.. I am also sometimes (rarely) sending a note to the message originators that their traffic is being captured.
Lately I have been hammering problems with HOTMAIL - which internally uses some software telling "from mail pickup service" (or something like that), which appears also in a number of LOOPED messages. I have now removed that loop-signature from being blocked, but I am worried...
