A separate question regarding filters:

After turning on SpamAssassin, with the settings at 1 & 4.5, and adding a filter to discard all mail with a header that has an X-Spam-Level of more than 8 *s, I stopped receiving 80% of the spam that I had previously been receiving.

That's great, but perhaps I was too hasty in installing the discard filter (just in case there were some false positives? - or is that not possible?)

I deleted that initial Discard > 8 *s filter and implemented a new one:

$h_X-Spam-Status: contains "X-Spam-Level: ********" forwards to a special email address.

I noticed that one of the dropdown menus in the Add Filter routine includes the option for SpamAssassin Header rather than Any Header. I selected SpamAssassin header and that filter's code is reflected above. Is that OK? Thanks (my other issue in prior post #162 is still open as well)
