I'm impressed by how much doesn't get through. Bogofilter is currently
picking up around 86%-87% of the spam I receive - and that's using the
default parameters. Every so often I get a burst of spam that it
doesn't pick up, but it learns pretty fast and they soon get dumped
liked the rest. I'm thinking of tightening it up so that it picks up
about 95% (any more and I'd worry about losing ham), but in general I
find I can relax and let it do its work.

I was impressed by SpamBayes, which I use on my other PC, but
bogofilter is even better,
