At the risk of sounding like a big ol' gloater (do I look like I'm bovvered?), DSPAM handles pic spam just fine. And I haven't had an actual spam hitting my actual inbox for months and months.
Of course, I do have greylisting and a few blunt instrument IP blocks (if you're in China, Korea or Brazil you can't mail me directly) in front of it, which helps, but of the spam getting through those layers, here are my current stats:
Filtering Statistics
DSPAM has caught 37270 spams
...learned 102 spams
...scanned 39299 innocent emails
...with 4110 false positives
Your SPAM Ratio is 46.26%
Performance Statistics
Your spam filtering accuracy is 99.929% since last reset
Your false positive rate is 9.956% since last reset
Your overall accuracy is 94.037% since last reset
Cheers
Martin
