I've just checked the spamicity for the mails I'm getting and they range from 0.5 to 0.9. I use two-state filtering with default cut-off value (0.99). I don't like the idea of lowering the cut-off. With the amount of spam I'm getting it's impossible to go through the spam box manually and check for false positives. I do know I get some occasionally even with this setting because two or three times in the last year I found a mail I was expecting in the spam box. By the way, I'm using bogofilter with procmail and constant training (-u option). Maybe it's time I switch to three-state filtering? I didn't set this up in the first place because I didn't saw a particular benefit in this. You have to read through both inbox and unsure folders anyway, so I don't see why this is better than just having everything in inbox. > AFAIR there were some waves with quotes from classical literature to > poison statitical filters in the past but so far bogofilter was able > to cope with it for me.
