My experience is that many of the KAM rules are unreasonably aggressive. In particular, I don't think it's ok for a rule to be over 3 points, unless it is virtually certain that any message that hits it will be spam. Overall, they don't feel tuned to meet SA doctrine which AIUI is that there should be quite rare FPs, meaning ham >= 5 points. I have reported a number of FPs. I have ~always heard back and had reasonable discussions. But it usually turns out that KAM thinks the aggressiveness of whatever rule I am having problems with is good on balance. It might be; that's a really hard question to answer. Overall, I've had too many problems with FPs, and given that my view of how things should be and the ruleset's view are far enough apart, I decided to just stop using it. I was expecting to get more spam through but it has not been noticeable (that's a perception, not anything careful, and of course the arriving spam changes over time).
