I gave up w/ bogofilter, spamassassin and other spam handling software,
then switched to POPFile few years ago. Easy to configure, efficient
and I like the web-based interface. I think the learning phase is
identical for every spam handling stuff, needs some feeding and
corrections at the beginning, then only very few corrections and this.
I won't say it better in terms of catching positives and avoiding false
positives or presenting negatives or unsure messages, but at least to
my experience, the UI and the control feeling it provides did the
difference.
