"Me too."  But with a caveat.

The spammers are getting smarter.  Just this week I've started to get  
a bunch of spam e-mails designed to screw up anti-spam utilities such  
as SpamSieve.  Some come with my own e-mail address as the "sent  
from" address.  Others mimic a "failure  notice."  And some include  
several paragraphs of legitimate sounding text hoping to cause anti- 
spam software to thereafter flag legitimate e-mail and become worthless.

SpamSieve is still accurate enough for me, but more and more spam is  
starting to find its way through.
