Wow - that's almost the opposite of me.  Since I got this account in
August, I've received two pieces of spam (which were identified correctly),
and then have had nearly two dozen false positives - including one from
my grandmother with a recipe for green beans.  In my book, false
positives are a lot worse than false negatives, since I don't check my
spam folder very often, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying
bogofilter.
