And how many Phishing false positives have you had exactly?
All of them. ;)
Seriously, that's an unfair question. When you're deleting people's email, how would they find out if there was a false positive? With spam, it's standard practice to review a junk-mail box for false positives regularly. Viruses are treated differently; nobody checks them for false positives. That's why this is such a concern for those of us who depend on email.
