    No false positives with BlackLists? Wow! :)

PF> What is the basis of your statement?

    When I first got SpamPal, I chose the intermediate level for spam
    detection. I then used a filter to create a copy of all messages
    designated as Spam and place the copies in a special folder.

    Over 90% of the catches were legitimate mail. A lot were from list
    members who were using black-listed SMTP servers. I'm sure that with
    Whitelist building etc. the false positive rate would diminish.

    I don't use SpamPal in this way anymore. I now filter all my known
    mail and then have SpamPal work with what's left. It has been doing
    fairly well there.

    The Bayesian filter plug-in is yet to detect one of my spam
    messages. :/

    I have SpamCop's enabled. With it disabled, SpamPal was missing
    Spam.
