If you want a reference set of good rules to use, search the list 
archives for a "howto" published by me last July (I think it had "howto" 
in the Subject: line of the posting. I have run the same set of rules 
(with all the auto-updates of course) since then, and it's been working 
very nicely. I have added a few custom rules after last July, but 
nothing major. It's been very stable for 6 months, requiring no 
maintenance at all.
