Oh, get off your horse. His statement is quite reasonable. I have installed mail servers in a company environment. They ask the following question: "Is it at all possible, ever, that a non-spam message could get marked as spam?" I tell them "Yes, but its very very unlikely", and their reply is that if even one single message gets dropped in the life of the company, that is too much. The fact that the software might be better than a human doing the same thing is completely irrelevant. So yes, in some peoples eye's, no spam filtering system is good enough unless it is perfect. Those people are the people sysadmins serve. You can whine at the sysadmins as much as you like. You can talk about your 0.00whatsit false positive rate or whatever, and you are blowing so much smoke, because they have to deal with people that simple don't think that way. > > http://zgp.org/pipermail/linux-elitists/2003-September/007390.html > > > > While some C-R proponents claim filtering doesn't work > > > > Some perhaps, but quite a few ``C-R proponents'' use content filtering > > in conjunction with their C-R solution.

Being snarky, and putting the word "Peace" after it gains you nothing. If you want to convert me to your point of view, you are SO on the wrong track. Behave. If you wish to contend that his statement is false, you have lost. There are people out there that don't care about technical details, and that call the shots. They disagree with you. They pay the bills. They won't ever use something like spamassassin. They tell sysadmins what behaviour is good enough. Period.
