You want to reduce what actually gets scanned by MailScanner. Most of us reject
about 80-90% of the spam because of technical criteria right at the MTA, with RBLs
and with several milters and with some sendmail options. You also want to make sure 
that you don't accept mail for non-existing mailboxes. All of this gets discussed on
this list regularly, just search back. You can also use BarricadeMX for this,
there have just been discussions about it here.

As for your question about gmane.org, you should direct it to the people that drive 
gmane.org. gmane.org just aggregates this list, this list is not affiliated with 
them.
