Spam categorization

Am I the only one that finds the plain "Spam" categorization practically useless?  The "Confirmed Spam" category seems pretty good - I see very few false positives - but the regular "Spam" classification only ever seems to get assigned to items from legitimate mailing lists that we subscribe to.

It's so useless to us that I've simply changed its action from Warn to Off; I really can't imagine that anyone in their right mind would select Quarantine or Blackhole for that category.

  • I have it off, too, but there are some organizations that would benefit from leaving it on.  Imagine that you are the Astaro admin in a good-sized IT department, and the secretaries on the C-Level (CEO, CFO, CIO, etc.) floor are embarrassed that their bosses have found out they receive too many ads from Old Navy, Coldwater Creek and the like. Do you really want to tell their bosses the truth, or would you prefer to send out a memo explaining how to release/whitelist emails and how to use the End User Portal? [;)]
