I've built a pretty thorough set of spam filters using the evolution filters. On average, 2 pieces of spam get thru a day. My spam folder gets about 400 pieces a day.
My filters are organized such that my list subscriptions are sorted into the appropriate mailboxes, followed by mail from select friends and family which goes into a mailbox, followed by mail from select domains that I want mail from. Then my porn and spam filters take over and if it meets their criteria, it goes into a spam folder. Very little that shouldn't make it thru does. Once in a while a genuine email goes in there (about once a day) so I peruse it periodically.
