I've been using CRM-114 for about 5 months to catch all the spams that 
Spamprobe is missing.  I continually feedback all the missed spams (from 
both sides) into both Spamprobe and CRM-114 for training.  Spamprobe 
still manages to miss 30-50 spams a day which CRM-114 is able to catch.

The downside:
o CRM-114 has more false-positives than Spamprobe.  But it does seem to 
be learning.
o CRM-114 is a pain to set up and get running. 
o CRM-114 misses a lot of spam everyday (classifies it as "unsure").  
But the Unsure mails are mostly spam and easy to wade through.
