I also have SpamAssassin on the server. Procmail drops everything over a 
certain score. Messages with a not-quite-that-high score go into a 
“Probably” folder for manual examination. Any spam that gets 
through, no matter which folder it ends up in, I move to my Junk folder.


SpamAssassin trains every night based on Junk, Inbox, and Trash. The 
last two are used as examples of ham, which is also important. Junk is 
emptied after training.


Almost nothing client side, in other words, although MailMate makes the 
one and only manual step (Move to Junk) very easy.

First line of defense, SpamAssassin on my server.
Second line of defense, SpamSieve via MailMate.

My main concern is catching false positives. I set up my Junk mailbox to 
use Submailboxes based on the To Address, which makes it very easy for 
me to nuke anything that clearly isn't for me, and focus on the few 
left. I scan them once a day or so. My junk mailboxes generally get a 
few hundred messages a day. Not so bad as when I owned somewhere.com, 
which was regularly bouncing a few million messages a day.___
