I would guess that he means that 99.95% of stuff that is spam is marked as such, and only .01% of stuff that isn't spam is incorrectly marked as spam. Could be wrong though.
Absolutely. I've examined the latest botnet code and it uses threads, which are very low overhead on windows, and so blocking one thread for 47 minutes (as per the article) doesn't hurt the spammers one bit.It probably makes the author feel good though, which is what's important.
This allows you to redirect known(via your own detection or someone elses) spammer mail servers(i.e. zombie pcs and open relays) to a fake mail server that pretends to be really really slow e.g. "OK, send me the email! Wait wait, i got the first letter, hold on....OK send me the rest! wait, wait, im not ready hold on...etc".

They pay them for each clickthrough or sale. They don't care what goes in the email, as long as it generates a handful of leads.

I thoroughly agree. :)And I think anything that impedes the flow of this crap is well worth implementing.

there are multiple ways of dealing with it. pick one that reports it... don't double the waste of bandwidth by redirecting it or bouncing it.
