you did not get the point - score by subjects and train bayes, in 
combination with other spamassassin rules and sa-update you catch nearly 
all spam without false positives

if you don't want to take care about maintain a mailserver then please 
don't do it because maintaining a mailserver i a *fulltime job* and not 
take care often means making other mistakes affecting 3rd parties as well
