Since I installed and trained bogofilter, I hardly get spam and viruses anymore. Around 100 messages are /dev/null-ed by bogofilter every day, and I get 2 to 5 messages in the "unsure" mailbox per week. However, a large number of spam and non-spam emails (say 1000 of each) is a prequisite for training bogofilter well. If you want I could send you my wordlist.db. It's around 8 MB. When I just started using bogofilter, I saved the spam in a separate mailbox, to check for false positives. But I dropped that after about a month.
