How does it handle spam filtering? Surely the big mail providers have a network effect going on when one person marks an email as spam it's applied to similar emails.

I am blocking at least one otherwise legitimate company that is incapable of unsubscribing me from the marketing mails (despite talking to their helpdesk). I block them now. But other accounts may want to still see their emails. If you want to learn who the real bad spammers are, I think you need larger volumes of mail than a self-hoster will gather. The network effect that mox can use is through a RBL/DNSBL, but then an external DNSBL is doing the learning/analysis and mox just uses it.
