This is _way_ off-topic for zsh-users, but ...
I've been running spamassassin for several months now and my rate of false
positives is close to zero -- it's definitely zero for messages on zsh
lists. My overall false negative rate since mid-June is about 5%, false
positive is about 0.1%, though I did have to do some score tweaking to get
there (every new SA release has a few oddball scores).
While I was running SA on my ISP mail machine I used a logrotate script
for looking-over-its-shoulder; mailed me a summary every day and rotated
each daily spambox into oblivion after 2 weeks. I quit doing that when I
got DSL and had to start running SA on my home machine, but I still have
the script if anyone wants it.
(Apparently I get, on average, about 19 spams and 0.9 viruses per day.
I'd never actually computed that before.)
