Our customers strictly want to get their mail - so we prefer flagging over blocking. Looking around in my server logs (and postmaster accounts) makes me feel that most ISPs today are much more in blocking. Don't they all have huge problems with people complaining? We already have...

We recently implemented greylisting and now our customers hardly get spam anymore. Coupled with a decent whitelist of known mailservers and auto-whitelisting of outgoing email, it works wonders. Greylisting also takes a lot of load from the virus scanner and from spamassassin, which is used to tag the remaining spam mails.
