Yes of course, my mistake.
The OP probably doesn't know that no filter can detect all spam, and
just spam. Any filter will have some amount of:
- False positives: ham classified as spam
- False negatives: missed spam
It takes sometime to tweak SA to minimize these, if ever possible.
Exactly. Since spam is not very black and white (like viruses) it is
very difficult to detect. Especially since one persons ham is anothers
spam. Deleting these messages entirely could be dangerous. Now if you
tag at a certain score, and delete at a much higher score, this may be a
workable solution. Or perhaps just put all spam into a separate folder
that can be searched for false positives.
