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.
