The simple answer is that filtering is only a tactical
palliative and we have not put the criminal spammers
out of business. At this point the proportion of spam
created by non-criminal businesses is negligible.
High nines catch rates are good but not a solution for
the person who like me receives 1000 spams per day.
Or for the people who bear the cost of handling spam for 1000+ accounts
like yours.
Filtering certainly reduces downstream load, but it is only effective at
well defined boundaries.
The goal must be to evolve a system which reduces the quantity of spam
which is sent, not simply the quantity which reaches its destination.
