It’s great to hear you appreciate the plugin.
I am however concerned about the stats you just posted. Was “a few spams have ever reached my inbox, and +800 killed” a guess perhaps?
I would expect much better stats than that from the plugin unless you are being specifically targeted for attack. Typically I see around 99.99% of all spams blocked (and often a lot higher than that). So a few hams amongst 800 spams is not very good at all.

I received 3 spams that made it through for moderation this week. The first one seemed possibly legit. Then I got 2 more. All from different IP’s but all for “keynote speakers” with similar gmail addresses that had their name and keynote speaker in their alias. I figured these made it through because the spammer might be a human not a bot. Since it’s rare that spam sneaks through, I took a look at my spam folder and there were 802 kills in there. Didn’t read them all, but the first 2 pages were all athletic shoe spammers and their ilk, so I just trashed them all and thought, “well at least this plug in saved me a ton of work!”
Hmmm, sounds like you are getting very little spam, but what you do have is very aggressive. I get 10x that much spam, but about a third as much gets through.
