No kidding, I've fine tuned mine to the point that I only see one or two
spam messages a week, the other 35 or so go straight to a mailbox that I
check once in a while, just to make sure that nothing was incorrectly
labeled spam. The biggest problem I have is that some of the people on the
technical lists I read have their home machine masquerading as hotmail.com
or such, so that any email they send goes there, and my finetuned filters
puke on them, knowing that they didn't really come from hotmail.com.

(And no, I won't make my refinements publicly available, only because
if they come too well known, the spammers will look at it and figure
out how to get around it, but I'll give advice on anyone that wants to
work on their own).
