Well, I use bogofilter and is not smart at all (is bayesian) but is
extremely effective. I used to check the spam folder, but at some point
I stopped because there's been ages since the last false positive. But
bogofilter have an intermediate status "unsure". I get about 25 spam
e-mails per day and only about 1 goes to the unsure folder, and I would
say only 1/4 of the unsure e-mail is not spam.
