Here is another one successfully using bogofilter.
On my addresses @arnoldarts.de I get about 100-200 spam mails each day, where 
bogofilter is unsure only about 2-6 a day.

Why do I get so much spam? Because I write in mailinglists (like this one) 
which have public archives and because I have a homepage...
