I'm presuming that you're basing this accuracy on statistics provided by Symantec themselves as you don't actually get to see what is rejected. I suppose we could all judge the danger of smoking on research carried out by British American Tobacco. I'm sure BrightMail is an excellent spam filter, but no company has as yet claimed 100% accuracy. Brightmail "claim" 99.9999% - if your ISP handles 10,000,000 emails a day then it's likely 10 of its customers register a false positive. That's enough for me to keep checking - there's a pretty slim chance of my Hard Disk losing data in the first three years according to the manufacturer, but I'm still going to make backups.
