I implemented SpamAssassin sitewide. Unfortunately it turns out that
a few of my users like to be on lists that habitually send out mail
that looks a lot like spam. Fortunately I could disable SpamAssassin
for those specific users.

I remain concerned about false positives, so I have not yet switched
over from header marking to silent disposal mode. Everyone will have
to judge their own user community's comfort level with the risk of
missing a legitimate message vs. reducing spam, and set the threshold 
accordingly.
