I  have good success putting my spam catcher _after_ filters that look
for  stuff I want to keep and read.

In  other words, pick off the stuff you want to read _first_, route it
to  the  appropriate  folders,  then  run what's left through the spam
filter(s).

This  method  has the added advantage of avoiding a legitimate message
accidentally  getting  treated  as spam. For example, if someone in my
address  book  sends me a message containing the phrase "erection of a
new  bridge  over  the  Swatara Creek", it gets filtered to my "known"
folder,  even  though "erection" is a word my spam filter, later, will
look  for.  If  the  spam filter is first, this good message would get
trashed.

Anything that doesn't get picked off by any filter, including the spam
catcher,  I  route  to my "unknown" folder. The "unknown" filter comes
last.

Known filter(s)

Spam filter(s)

Unknown filter
