In the end, ALL active anti-spam will be defeated. Why? Because spammers can
buy JunkBroom, SpamSieve, etc., and beat on them until they find the holes.
It's unavoidable.

The only method I've found that works is to filter out all the stuff I DO
want to folders. That way, the only thing left in my inbox is 99% spam.
Makes dealing with it MUCH simpler. The advantage of this is that since I'm
not actually filtering spam, the spammers can't defeat it.

It's sort of a white-list, passive antispam system, but it works really
well.
