Hmm, yea, ever since I first tried spam filtering software (and I've tried a number of different ones), I've been convinced that the only worthwhile spam filtering system is one that doesn't even bother to try to filter on messages that have already been sent (and certainly not one of those heuristics systems, those are horrible), but rather makes sure the sender is legit before it even lets them send. CAPTCHAs, a real login system, only giving out real email addresses to individuals, not sites or organizations, etc. I've been following that, without any client-side or server-side software spam filter, for years and I get far fewer spam getting through than even gmail users do, and *zero* legit messages blocked.
