Good question. I have no idea :-)

I've set it up anyway, and it looks to be working OK (that is no complaints
from users so far :-). I know its not nice to do, but I occasionally scan
user's inboxes by grepping for known keywords to extract SPAM that they got
and then feeds it to the dictionary. I also have some dummy accounts which
exist for the sole purpose of attracting SPAM.

All in all I think SPAM is generally the same for all the users - viagra ads
and other suspect materials, nigerian scams and yambateva.
