For the sake of the argument: if you get 3000 messages of spam per day it means that it takes a lot of effort to check them all.

Also, as you receive a lot of spam, the distribution is highly skewed towards spam, so it is unlikely you find a false positive because there are a lot more true positive, not because the false positives are absent.

So there is a chance you are getting false positives, but have failed to spot them (I know it happens to me).

How?


I get noticed by other means, e.g. - I sent you the link on gmail - no you didn't - check your spam folder - I just did! - check again! - alright.. ah err, yes you did
