I for one give Habeas a + score. I've just done a quick grep -l of Habeas from my Maildir, and here's the results. Spam folder : 82 mails Inbox : 0 mails spamassassin folder: 150 mails (presumably everyone talking about it on the list, with one or two genuine users of it). The spam folder is certified spam, with the ones containing Habeas having subjects like: ./spam/1959:Subject: [SA: 25.44] Fwd: Want V^|cod|n , Val.i.um ?
