Yup. Even with SpamSieve well-trained, I get perhaps 2 or 3 false positives
per day out of literally hundreds of junk messages. They come from things
like people I've not corresponded with, or sometimes "Here's your
registration number" from a software purchase. Any time that happens I feed
the messages to SpamSieve's "Add Good" script, and the number of false
positives does seem to be diminishing.  I have all spam moved to a spam
folder, and I scan it once or twice a day. I find it fairly easy to spot the
good ones.
