False positives are my big problem right now. I have Norton Antivirus for
exchange on my exchange server and it includes a spam filter but it created
waaay too many false positives and blocked legitimate email.

I suppose I'll just tune my word lists and block whatever bypasses my RBL's
that way. :(

We've had a large success rate with realtime blackhole lists and block
thousands of messages a day.  However, we still see a lot of spam.

I've done some personal testing with spamassassin and I really don't
like it - the false positive rate was way too high for me.
