Googling on the topic seems to confirm false positives are not a problem
with DCC.

I suppose because DCC is automatic -- I think anyway -- all incomming
mail gets reported to DCC server, which checksums, and counts, while the
idea with Razor is that the mail is human confirmed spam before
submitting -- not sure, but I don't think Razor figures report
frequency.

Well, of course not :).  But now that you mention it, I suppose I'll
have to figure out how to do that, otherwise, this inferiority complex
is gonna get way out of hand.
