So many comments here saying that spam is killing e-mail, but even with very light spam filtering on a non-gmail account maybe 1 spam message a day gets through

  How much spam do you get a day? I have an account since the beginning of gmail, and I get around 120 spam messages a day (roughly one every 10 minutes) Also, with self-hosted spam filters, I had issue with false positives - that is my filters flagging proper e-mails as spam. I hope that the new LLM systems should finally fix all that. Another issue is that if you self-host, your e-mails are more likely to land in spam in your recipients inboxes. Big providers don't mind that :/

    Running SA, I get maybe half that per day and false-positives are extremely rare. Get about 1 false negative per day as well (which is fine; I could live with 5-6 really).

  It probably depends on how long you've had your email address. I've had mine for 20+ years would be borderline unusable without spam filtering. It's been much better since I took the time to set things up so marking and email spam automatically fed it into sa-learn. I still have to have a handful of rules to filter out senders who are "legit" enough to make it through, but ignore unsubscribe requests.
