Their filter is not too bad, I get around 100 to 200 spam emails a day with possibly 2 making it through the filter a day and maybe once a week I find a non-spam email in the spam file - usually an interesting one. It definitely benefits from the user tuning at the beginning, which means checking the emails on the net and marking wrongly labeled mails manually, which is a bit of a pain, but it works OK after that. I have no other experience apart from the filter in the Macintosh mail application. I stopped using that to avoid the wasted bandwidth of downloading the dross.
