     And who reads the other 2,889,000,000 to search for false-positives????
Or do you let Bill Campbell do your spam checking for you???  :))

     Reminds me of a machine shop a few years ago.  They didn't have an IT
staff, but they thought they could setup their own MS Exchange server.  They
thought it was working great, because it seemed to be eliminating a lot of
spam.  However, nobody was looking at the spam folder, and a lot of
essential emails like engineering changes on the machines they were building
were getting shuffled into the spam folder and then getting deleted.  They
had to pick up the tab for over $300,000.00 worth of missed spec changes...
