Doesn't that assume that a "false positive" would be the same as a
complaint?

Right now, I'm hand inspecting all of my policy rejects (but I don't
have anywhere near 80,000 of them per day). I know the few false
positives that I see (almost all from mailers who don't have rDNS set up
right), would not be reported by my user base because they don't *know*
that someone mailed them and it was rejected.

Philosophically, though, I set this up to control UCE, especially the
vulgar and pornographic type. NOT running an abuse@ address is not the
same thing, IMO, as sending spam, and therefore, is not a policy item
that I would necessarily use to say someone is not entitled to email my
users. (Of course, the nice thing about policies are that you and I can
have different ones.)

Interesting, I get about 1 complaint every 2 months or 3 months for it.
That is with an average 10K delivered mail a day.  And now rejecting 80K
a
day.
