Spamassassin gave me a _lot_ of false positives from colleagues who sent
me email. Blank subjects, words in all caps, screwed up headers because
of incorrectly configured networks, single lines of text that go on
forever, and so on. Some of those false positives had important
information. When the information is important enough, even a single
false positive is a serious problem.
bogofilter has worked pretty well, and seems to be getting better, but I
still get a fair number of false negatives. So far I'm not getting
false positives, and that's what matters most to me. One or two false
positives a month could cause real problems.
