5 CommentsLately I've been noticing a lot of false positives in my junk folder. I'm catching nearly every spam, but I'm also catching a lot of automated/result messages from web services, and occasionally a human written email.
Where have I gone wrong?
Currently I'm checking my junk folder daily and hitting "not junk," but I'm worried that I still might miss things.
Has anyone else experienced an upswing in false-positives on tspam filters lately?

Check out this article on how Mail's spam filter works. I just glanced through it, but It could be that your ISP's recently changed spam filters and is putting an invisible "spam" flag on the incoming messages, which Mail consequently picks up on.

I run my own mail servers. The only spam filtering I'md doing at the moment are blackhole lists. Link is helpful though, I'll see what I can dig up

Consider yourself lucky, Mail catches absolutely nothing for me after 3 years of training.

Really? It catches almost perfectly for me on both my machines. Are you sure you've switched to automatic mode yet?

I would dump Mail's spam filter and go with something like Spamsieve.
