But you don't trust it enough, not to check...
Even as good as my SA rules are, I check on a spot basis.
If I had to check up on it, I don't consider it trustworthy.
Again I'll say--no matter how good any anti-spam software is, there will ALWAYS be false positives. So on that basis, you don't like any of it?
The difference between using something like SpamAssassin and having no anti-spam solution running is my having to sort through literally hundreds of spam in my live inbox--effectively losing the use of E-Mail--without the software, or only seeing a few get through, and just checking the spambuckets periodically for false positives (and even then, I've scripts to look for likely false positives.)
As a result, I have functional E-Mail, and am not afraid to keep the same address for, literally, decades. Can you say the same?:
All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
Ah; didn't think so.
