My ISP uses Postini to filter e-mail and it does an outstanding 
job.  Very occasionally I will find something that shouldn't have 
been filtered - maybe once a week - and very occasionally something 
will slip through - maybe twice a week.  I typically have about 600 
spams a day that Postini filters out - usually how to enlarge my 
penis or somebody has sent me a card with a virus attached.  I get 
plenty of drug advertisements, all filtered out.  I don't know how 
they do it, but they are very efficient. However, I just got an 
e-mail today from the ISP (Comporium) and, as of August 11th, they 
will no longer be using Postini but will be installing their own 
filtering system :-(  I'm not looking forward to that.  There is no 
way it could be as efficient as Postini.
