Here is another one successfully using bogofilter.
On my addresses @arnoldarts.de I get about 100-200 spam mails each day, where
bogofilter is unsure only about 2-6 a day.
Why do I get so much spam? Because I write in mailinglists (like this one)
which have public archives and because I have a homepage...

I used to be careful and care about where my
email address went and
worry about spam. Then I realized that gee whiz I'm spending more effort
trying to avoid spam then I would be just dealing with it. I discovered
Paul Graham's "A Plan for Spam" essay and ESR's wonderful bogofilter
program. I have flung my email address around shamelessly for over two
years now, and I currently have only one or two "unsure" messages that
are really spam to deal with per day. The rest go to a spam file that I
mostly ignore but go dig in when I don't get that email from ebay that
...
Seeing Hans officially changed this thread to off-topic I'll
jump in and say I also use bogofilter with the same positive
results... once trained (took a month I guess) I now get ~zero
spam in my Inbox, ~2 per day in my unsure folder and 20 to 30
spams in my Trash, which automatically get purged after 3 days.
