  That is my big concern.  The biggest thing keeping me from implementing 
serious anti-spam on my inbox at work is the risk of false positives.  I get 
email from customers, often from weird addresses, and I cannot risk ignoring 
a potentially important email just because a customer can't spell.  :)

  Does anyone here have opinions on anti-spam solutions, when it is more 
important to minimize false positives than to catch all spam?
