I use some *very* simple procmail recipes, hardly 'spam detection' but
it detects way more than 50%, the main item is simply regarding
anything bcc'ed to me as junk. I really don't understand the need for
'clever' spam detection, a collection of very simple and obvious
procmail recipes works so well that I see no need for trying to detect
the last few percent.
