"grubbibg" is different from "grubing" :)
Marc's, based on SpamAssassin, is far more sophisticated and does its
thing in real time based on smtp data content. Exim's spammer
teergrubing has to be based on RBLs or blocklists.
But Marc's can't, for example, cope with spammers' dictionary attacks,
as Exim can. With Exim one can cause severe pain to people trying these.
So I do both, each as warranted by the situation.
Best,
Tony
