Incidentally, I recently concluded an analysis of nearly 5 years worth of
feedback loop traffic from AOL. (Which is the first one I started using
on a site of appreciable volume.) This analysis, partially automated
and partially manual, arrived at the following interesting conclusion:
the FP rate is 100.000%. Every single feedback loop report identifying
traffic as spam was wrong.
That just means you aren't sending what you'd consider to be spam.
If a statistically valid sample of an ISP's users (as processed by their own
user reputation systems) think something is spam, why would that ISP
disagree?
I know it's a big shift in thinking from the classic anti-spammer attitude,
particularly the pornography test (I know it when I see it.) But, it's a
shift that all of the big ISPs have already made: they'll listen to their
users before they'll listen to random external parties.
