SPAM assassin has a roughly 0.002% false positive rate here (~3K
messages checked per day). The false negative rate is climbing alas,
but that is solely due to the increased rate of mailmerged SPAM I'm
getting (my address in To:. address and/or name in message body, etc).
I can live with a 0.002% false positive rate quite comfortably,
especially as its the very rare exception among those false positives
that I actually want to read (hasn't happened yet this year).
