Sure, but you're being nibbled to death by mice. Everything that you can offload onto other people is more time for you to spend on the service you want to provide. In my personal experience that "works" in the sense that a number of people do go to the trouble to save me time, and some even express gratitude for the chance to help. YMMV, of course. > False positive means it's legit mail that is in my spam folder. Using my > ISP's defaults. Well, those defaults are not well-tuned to your list. (You obviously know they're not working; my point is that there's a very good chance that they can be tuned a *lot* better.) Timing is up to you, but my advice is to get in touch with your ISP early and often and see if they'll give you some access to tuning SA (SpamAssassin) scores for rules that give you a lot of false positives, and to training SA's adaptive filters against a pile of your list mail. BTW, I see that you have checked for SA headers in your list mail and not found them. If they're using something else, a lot of what has been said about SA applies to most filter software to some degree. And if they're not using anything, the sooner they start, the better for everybody.
