[Assp-user] our recent stats -- 0 false-positives

[John H. <jh...@cp...>]

I just wanted to post our recent stats results. There were a number of false
negatives (spam that got through), primarily because of the corruption of
our non-spam collection. (See my previous email.) Since that's been
corrected I haven't received a single spam. (My account is one of the
spamiest.)

But more significantly, I'm not aware of ANY false positives (valid mail
that was rejected). Not a single one. To me this represents a huge success
for ASSP.
