Before my computer melted down I was receiving something like 100 to 200 spam messages a day, of which between 1 and 2 would slip through spamassassin 3.x. I've lost my bayes dbs now and will have to spend some time teaching the filter what my mail looks like again, but it was working very well for a long time. (I also kept track of which sorts of messages tended to be flagged as false negatives and tweaked their spam scores accordingly.) You have to perform a few extra steps when upgrading to 3.x to save your dbs but they're well worth it.
And good luck with simplifying your life, at least a little. I always feel like a large weight has been taken off my shoulders when I get to do things like that, like when I got rid of my car years ago.
