I just checked my mail logs and was astonished. I host mail for
myself and maybe .. 30 others tops. I set postfix to flag messages
with the subject *****SPAM**** which spamassassin uses to flag
spam so I could quickly analyze the log files, and holy shit
last week spamassassin flagged more then 23,000 messages as spam!
and from sunday at 3:26AM (PST) to a few minutes ago more then
4,000 messages were flagged!
I personally get maybe 1 in 1,000 false postives, though some
users that have accounts on my machines apparently get much
higher rates so I had to add them to the white list. I don't
know why, I've been using it since september and have never
had a bad false positive(all false positives have been mailing
list postings, which are hardly critical, unlike say an
e-commerce recipt or some personal email like a job offer :) )
