FastMail is VERY good at rejecting obvious spam as well as detecting the few that actually get through.

My email address is posted all over the place, mostly because I make open-source software and it's impossible to avoid my email address getting into commit messages and mailing lists that are all publicly available.

Despite the above, I usually get only about 10 spam per month in my FastMail account, and 7-9 of them go straight to the spam folder without ever hitting my Inbox. Occasionally there's a false positive or a false negative, but once I train the Bayes filter by moving them to the correct folder (spam to Spam and ham to Inbox), the filter never makes the same mistake again.
