SpamAssassin can be configured to be less sensitive: I find a setting of
6 to yeild far fewer false positives.
That you get false positives at all is an excellent example of why I
am opposed to ISPs secretly using far less intelligent spam filtering
that routes to the bit-bucket.
For my own use, SpamAssassin only catches about half the spam I
receive. I get about 5-10% spam:mail per day, and it gives about 5%
false positives, usually from opt-in mailing lists or from highly
marketing-speak obsessed PR goons who write the subscriber list
announcements for services like my Bell ExpressVu satellite TV.
