Reindl, I respecfully disagree with (a) at least for the UK. It may be the case in Germany but I'll be damned if I'm going to give up on my Mailscanner - tuned over the years enough that we've never had a legit mail get canned.
I respecfully disagree - why can't it run before-queue as spamassassin does with sa-milter and in combination with a wise postscreen/postfix setup faces only 5% of all mail sicne the rest got washed away before?
Anyway, that's enough for me otherwise this is going to turn into a flamewar rather than informational
well, i would not want to be in danger one of my mails got silently dropped and was a false positive
frankly, i was in that situation because using a "Barracuda Spamfirewall" and expecting a sane behavior (reject in case of spam) and it took years to find out it was not the case and needed to be replaced because *in fact* it silently dropped way too much of my own messages as well as from other users too
you just don't know about false positives because not every mail is missed by somebody which don't imply it was junk
frankly while replace that commercial mails i had mail-discussions where i personally did not miss a few messages until the other side talked about a message in the same thread i never saw
