The problem with spam filtering is that it's always a matter of trade-offs.
If there is too much spam then when deleting all the spam you will
accidentally delete some non-spam.
Aiming for zero false-positives is as useless as aiming for zero spam getting
through the defences when it comes to practical use of email. It's just a
matter of what trade-offs are made.
If spamcop was as bad as people claim then I'm sure that throughout this
discussion people would be CCing me on their messages to the list and then
flaming me on the list when my server rejected their email due to the Spamcop
DNSBL. I conclude that the people who are trying to find problems with
Spamcop aren't having much success.
