Unprecedented accuracy Accuracy monotonically increases as time and the number of protected users increases Easy to identify mistakes: Quarantine is ranked with rigorously calculated likelihood of the observation being correct so that virtually all mistakes are in the email “greymail” report Real-time rating: reaction times are nearly instantaneous Content independent: works on image spams, foreign spams, word salads, etc. 100% language-independent High performance Highly decisive; greymail list is typically <1% of all emails No training/ramp up period Immune to human rating errors User feedback is optional (personal preferences). No tuning (whitelists, blacklists, high-medium-low settings, etc)
