Thats 'per machine x 2 machines'... several others do less, they do 
about 50-200 a minute, with a few more more dedicated boxes doing much 
less

SA itself, all the dns stuff is off as is a couple other things they 
suggested, SA was used for spam detection only, we lowered teh default MS 
check first.. from 30k to 10k to 5k, even at 5k it only made a minute 
improvement but was next to useless still, also allowing lots of spam to 
pass :)

Laws in this country were changed recently to require network operators to 
do what they can and be "pro active" in stopping spam leaving their 
network, thats great, but only about 1% comes from our users, the rest is 
international where there appears no legislation to deter it.
