I think you will find that at very large mail systems like gmail and
Microsoft and Yahoo, 90% might as well be 0%. The volume of errors is
just too high and the number of complaints would be impossible.

While I almost never see the sort of spam leakage through mailing lists 
that Brandon reports, I believe him when he says it's enough of a problem
that Gmail can't just whitelist traffic from mailing lists.

R's,
John
