30.000 domains (from personal sites to large traffic ones), only virus /
spam filtering and then relaying the mail to the "webservers" for
imap/pop/webmail access.

BL rejecting makes a 70% of inbound mail for top 30 of them, but still a
hell lot of spam passes and SA just can't handle the load.

My dspam experience is manly with corporate LANs and such, not ISP
installs.
