Oh I agree they do - but at the scale of the ISPs with 10 million+ customers or products that are in wide use. I can't see a spammer adjusting anything just because they read on a website that Ihug with 80,000 customers uses Spam Assassin.

And yes, spammers do try to get past Spam Assassin as well.

This is probably getting to the point of off topic, but I never said they didn't. But they try to get past spam assassin because it is a widely used spam filter, not because they are going to go a NZ website, read that hey Black Albatross use Spam Assassin, so hey I'd better try and get around it.
