At a guess, I I get 100-150 SPAM a day. Proably 4 get past SpamAssasin with a 
well educated Bayesian.   And until the recent MS Virus email, I probably had 
fewer than 2 a day.  AND, I've had no more than one false positive 
(identified as SPAM, but wasn't) in a month.

SpamAssassing is good.  I have my cuttoff at 4.0
