how do you know you haven't had a false positive over 8?

   The procmail log files.  Since all mail above eight gets
trashed, I look at statistics of the log file for anything
that was dumped, and scan the senders, just in case.  But
I've never had to ask anyone to resend anything due to the
original being dev/null'd.

   As stated in my first post, I can only think of a few times
that legit mail was put into the spam temp holding mailbox.
The virus scanners tend to falsely catch more mail (about
one a month) than SA.
