I have to resort to 3 levels of filtering:1) I have sendmail configured to reject connections from remote machines on various blacklisted subnets. In the past 4 weeks this has filtered out 110628 messages (or 3951 per day)! 2) For the spam that has gotten through the first filter, spamassassin has caught 1030 messages (36 per day) 3) For the messages that spamassassin has missed, Mail.app's junk filter will correctly tag about 10 per day.After those three filters, I end up with around 10 uncaught spams per day.
my public facing smtp server filters out ~5k for the 5 email addresses I have (only 2 are public) and for the 3 other people who use my mail server my private smtp server, which rejects anything not coming from the public facing smtp server, rejects ~1k per day
spamassassin tags around 2k per day mail.app puts into my Junk folder about 400 a daybut, as you can probably guess, my mail volume is no where normal as I get a *lot* of moderation and other system related emails
