First line of defense, SpamAssassin on my server.
Second line of defense, SpamSieve via MailMate.

My main concern is catching false positives. I set up my Junk mailbox to 
use Submailboxes based on the To Address, which makes it very easy for 
me to nuke anything that clearly isn't for me, and focus on the few 
left. I scan them once a day or so. My junk mailboxes generally get a 
few hundred messages a day. Not so bad as when I owned somewhere.com, 
which was regularly bouncing a few million messages a day.
