Jeremy asked me in PM to provide some data. Since that may be of public
interest, I'll also post it on this list (from my Maildir):
# Number of messages in non-spam folders that were in Vipul's Razor's
# database. You can assume that around 98 % of these are indeed false
# positives. There rest are those that didn't reach the spamassassin
# threshold _and_ I did not delete when reading the respective mailing
# list:
bash-2.05$ find .|grep -v spam|xargs grep ^X-Spam-Status.*RAZOR|wc -l
1799
# Number of messages in total, including private email and sent
# messages:
bash-2.05$ find . -type f|wc -l
169252
That makes about 1 % of my messages that were incorrectly submitted to
Vipul's Razor's database. One bozo reported almost all of
freebsd-stable's traffic once, but I got _that_ loser shut down by
complaining on the Razor mailing list.
