I finally gave up and let Google handle my mail. Their spam filtering is pretty good. I have so few false positives that I don't check anymore. I get one or two false negatives a day but they don't bug me too much. I get way more random crap that I signed up for but immediately delete. I did notice the other day that I get about as many feed items (LiveJournal friends posts and RSS items through Google Reader) as spam messages. So I come out about even.
