I second this one.  It catches ALL of the spam but sometimes moves good
stuff to the possible spam folder.

What I did is to let a bunch of spam build up for training purposes.  I
moved all of the spam to a spam folder before training.

If you use Outlook, try

http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/windows.html

I use this.  Very good Bayesian filter.  The only thing to know is that you
have to set the "Certain Spam" number down to 20 and the "Suspected Spam"
number down to about 10.  At those settings it nails 99% of my Spam (no, no
statistics with this one but it is native to Outlook).

The Spam volume coming to me has doubled (or more) in the last month.  It
was already about 60 / day after getting rid of an old mail forwarder that
was 100% Spam.  This is really ridiculous.
