Probably other means that escape me at the moment; but I don't use any
spam filters which work on mail already delivered...  I no longer see
false-positives for me and my users, except those who fail the above
tests...

hmm.  Well, SpamAssassin never causes any false positives either, except
those caused by its ruleset ;)

It's worth noting that in particular the rDNS test is extremely FP-prone.
For example, from about 6 months ago until about a week ago, you would
never have seen any mail from me, since I used an ISP with no rDNS on its
outgoing SMTP server.

Yes, I know they suck.  But they were a *lot* cheaper than the
competition, and in a non-competitive market like Ireland, that counts a
lot more than "somebody's overzealous spam filter might drop my mail". ;)
