About 15% of the spams I get are not in SURBL, but are by the time I try to add :)
Ask Terry Sullivan sometime what the theoretical maximum detection rate of a collective spam classification system might be. He had some research showing it maxes out at around 85%.
(That should read "collaborative" for "collective". Pretty much the same meaning though: i.e. when multiple people decide what's spam.)
