I've never actually used SA since I don't generally trust heuristic
spam filters (hence TMDA).  Gmane runs SA against the messages in
its groups by default, and crossposts the message to
gmane.spam.detected if it thinks it's spam.  Since I read Gmane allot,
I've come across many SA false positives.  Here is some of the logic
from some recent legit messages it has falsely tagged:

  *  2.4 -- BODY: Contains at least 3 dollar signs in a row
  *  1.9 -- BODY: message body is 25-50% uppercase

The message was a corrected encoded Japanese message in a Japanese
newsgroup.

  *  1.5 -- BODY: Asks you to click below   
  *  2.4 -- Contains phrases frequently found in spam
            [score:  13, hits: click here, com subject, com]
            [with, for more, help you, here mailto, list]
            [please, mailing list, more information, please]
            [send, reply this, that you, when you, you for,] 
            [you need, your name]

The message was an ezmlm (a mailing list manager) subscription
confirmation request.

  *  2.1 -- BODY: FONT Size +2 and up or 3 and up

The message was a CVS commit notice, and thus contained program source
code.

etc, etc..  Pretty amusing.
