Really? Hm.

My experience is limited to my home system, to be honest, but for me
SpamAssassin works delightfully well. In the past three weeks or so, it's
correctly identified over 600 pieces of spam, with zero false positives
and only five or six false negatives. (And yes, even though I've been
using it for almost a year, I still go through the spam folder every
couple of weeks to make sure there aren't any false positives.)

I don't think I use my nomic.net email address for, well, anything, so I
can't speak as to its function for you. But for me, it's a Goddess-send.
