I get about 700-1100 spams a day. Spamassasin on the server only trickles 10-30 of those through a day (lately more, I've have to look into that). Thunderbird sorts all of those. I get about two or three false negatives (spam getting through) a day. I go through both Spamassasin's and Tbirds spams, and I get about 1 false positive every two weeks, often less. And those are usually too-spammy newsletters. None of my personal contacts has hit a false positive in months. That said, for mailing lists, I use Gmail. Great interface and spam filtering. Did nobody notice that the OP posted in HTML? There are lists I subscribe to that would have _removed_ him for that.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
