I have SA running in a relay situation, and it's only handled 50K messages
and I have yet to train it either with spam or ham.
I just set my scores high enough, and only get 70% of the incoming spam,
but I don't have false postitives, or statistically insignifigant false
positives.
I'd have to manually examine the score the determine my actual block rate,
this is a guestimate based on the number of mail at each spam score.

Really it all comes down to how much spam you are willing to block and how
many false postives you want.
It's fascinating that while the volume of spam varies day to day the
average spam score only varies by less than .25 points in any day.
