Not to quibble, but I would have guessed several orders of magnitude
greater. Probably more. Also, for most of the world's 1+ billion users,
I'd have added "effective" to "efficient"...

the user's email before passing it to the MUA filter and only then
discovering that 90% of it is spam, as opposed to rejecting it at SMTP
time.
