My primary goal is to filter any amount of spam while getting zero false
positives.  So far I've been successful with a 0.0% false positive
rate.  That's the main thing.  The secondary goal of minimizing false
negatives or unsures is measured by the number of these I receive each
day.  I'm down to about 4 of each per day and improving.  I don't really
care what percentage of my total mail this represents... whether I get
10 emails per day or 1000, the goal is zero false positives, zero false
negatives, and zero unsures... in other words: no spam and no mistakes.
