  I'm not sure I agree.

  If my ISP is under serious attack from spammers, then some level of
"good" mail will probably be thrown out with the spam.  The only way I
know of to guarantee that no "good" mail is thrown out, is to not
throw out *any* mail.

  This is unacceptable.

  We have to decide what level of spam we can live with, and what
level of false positives we can live with in anti-spam filters.  If
lowering the false positive rate by 2% increases the amount of spam by
10x, then that solution doesn't scale.

  I agree.
