I haven't, but if you want to know the most efficient spam filter, it is:
-allow all things from mailing lists you know, or people who Bcc: you who
you know
-bin anything which does not have your email in the To: or Cc: fields.
--allow everything else.

This avoids having to examine any header other than To: and Cc:, does not
need the lengthy examination of the content or subject of any message; thus
efficient.

It also kills 95% of spam. (Stats confirmed over the past five years. And I
get a LOT of spam.)
