Agree. I'm currently using sa 2.43 in a feedback loop together with
bogofilter (bogofilter is trained according to spamassassin's decision,
and bogofilter's decision gives - currently - 3.0 points in
spamassassin). With only 6M bogofilter database, I have false positives
down to below ca. 0.05% and false negatives below ca. 1%. So I'm
definitely looking forward to the spamassassin bayes filter.

False positives happen. Never, never, never automatically discard spam.
(I've never caught a legit msg with a 10 or more score; discarding 15+
might be pretty safe. Except when some friend mails a joke-mail that is
meant to be looking like spam, of course.).
