Same here. One of the biggest problems for me is the hosted mail lists
I'm on (such as those from Yahoo!) which put an ad on the end of each
message. Bingo, they have ads so they look like spam.

What I like about the brand new Junk Spy 3.0 is that you can filter on
different types of junk mail. You want to see those Nigerian pleas for
help in moving $15 million? Turn that particular junk filter "off".
Want the latest money-making ventures in your Inbox each morning? Turn
off the "Get Rich Quick" filter. I'm testing right now with filtering
each different type of spam into a different JunkMail folder using Junk
Spy 3.0's identifier tags. For one thing, it's a lot easier to find the
couple of false positives that occasionally come through when the spam
is separated into these different categories.
