You only get ~10 spams/day? I get hundreds. Serves me right for
maintaining an FAQ and other valuable Internet resources.
I just read http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html and am convinced that
filters like spamassassin won't keep up and that Baysian filters are
the way to go.
One other filter I read about is ESR's bogofilter, whose Debian
description appeals to me more than Debian's spamprobe description.
I'll probably end up trying both, but would still appreciate hearing
others' experiences.
