I did not research spam filter methods as there was no need to, so 
i dont reall know. It certainly worked well when it was originally setup

the default of 10 seconds has not been changed

The mail stuff wasnt setup by me so iam not able to just awnser what all
is in place. I tend to only look at things when they break.
But there is spamassesin on the box too iam not sure its connected to the
MLs though. But ultimatly the MLs will block non subscriber mails as the last
line of defense. The problem with this is just that it fills the moderation
que
