Or you can always route all your emails through gmail. If you measure effectiveness by (quality of filtering)/(amount of effort), they win hands down. Of course, you may not be happy happy with the folks at Google seeing a copy of all your emails...

That's what I do, but not because of antispam. You cannot control
the policies, except by manually flagging single messages in your
browser, which is not the most efficient of interfaces.

Gmail antispam is to spamassassin and friends what "web forums"
are to Usenet.

(The reason I do use gmail is they offer SSL and authentication
in both directions. I couldn't find an ISP who does this in my area.)
