 <p>Which eyeglass frame styles rank sexiest? Rimless eyeglasses rank as the sexiest frames by both eyeglass wearers and those who do not wear eyeglasses at 49 percent. The second spot goes to metal frames with 38 percent. Would you consider wearing cheap cheap eyeglasses as a fashion accessory? Almost half of the American population would - even if they do not need discount eyeglasses.

Mail is also doing a great job for me. I get about 65 spams a day at home, and around 5 at work.

Mail's spam filter misses about 2-3 a week at most. The only "false" spams are those that are ads, but from companies I opted in to! It rarely tags an email as spam when it is not.

I left my training mode on for quite awhile. Perhaps those with problems did not train it long enough, or were not consistent enough with training it.

 I'm using SpamAssassin 2.54 with IMAPAssassin. SpamAssassin's Bayesian filter is much better than the one in Mail.app and the SpamAssassin rule-based approach is far more powerful than any single technique - between the numerous built-in checks, multiple DNS blacklists (I have ~10), Bayesian filtering and Razor (http://razor.sf.net/) my spam problem is gone.

I'm planning to release a major patch for IMAPAssassin which adds a bunch of features which I consider useful but the default program provides most of what you want.

 Chris, it is good to hear that Mail.app is working well at snagging spam for you. Many people seem to feel that other solutions have surpassed what Mail.app has to offer in its built-in filtering.

I would consider taking a look at the filtering in Mail.app again, but every time I use that program I get frustrated with the speed of the application in doing simple things like moving from one message to another or opening a new mailbox. I admit though that I haven't looked at Mail.app since upgrading for my 12-inch PowerBook G4...its speed may be more acceptable now with a faster processor than my former 400MHz G3 with 1GB of RAM in the Pismo PowerBook...

 Over the past couple of months, I have been tracking spam on our server as well. I posted April's stats here and I am currently tracking stats for May. As it looks now, I'm going to well surpass April in filtered spam on the server. As of this morning, I have filtered 10,649 POSITIVE spam messages on the server for May alone. That is in addition to the 1,204 POSITIVE spam messages that have seeped through to my personal mailbox.

On a side note, Mail.app has done quite well with the filtering. I did find it necessary to place it back in training mode for a day to catch back up.
