As with all such sites, the value is in what you don't see: the 99.9% of input that gets silently devnulled as spam. It's terribly hard to automate away in a small-scale decentralised operation.

But comparing volumes of that inbox and the spam folder, the spam filter is catching the vast majority of spam. One year I'll figure out a way to estimate the ratio of ham to spam, caught and uncaught, in a way compatible with my attention spam ;)
