I use the built-in tri-state filtering, but then in my mail client, I also separate the spam by spamicity. Anything higher than 0.94 is considered high probability and I rarely if ever check it beyond very cursory subject line scan before deleting it. Anything higher than 0.98 is automatically dropped without ever seeing it by bogofilter-milter (sending server will get a bounce message at SMTP time). Those spams less than 0.94 I only read sender and subject lines before deleting them. Unsures I usually briefly page through the content. Rarely does ham ever end up in the unsures, but it does happen from time to time. I never get false positives in the spam though. > I'm not using the automatic training so far and I'm happy with the result. > Maybe the results would be even better with the automatic training?
