Big ol' bag of Nope for me. Using POP/IMAP to get mails from
Gentoo servers to where I actually handle mail is a pain in the
rear end. I already let procmail on woodpecker drop all Mails
with a spam score of >=3. I still get shitloads of spam mail that
makes it through. Hence, I'm currently training my own
SpamAssassin for that bit.
That said, I haven't had a false positive from SA in... years?
Maybe even a decade.

I'd be fine with that.
