Oh, agreed; SPEWS has an FP rate of about 98% (as of April when I tested
this last) because of the collateral damage stuff. If you're interested
in differentiating between spam and nonspam it's almost useless; in
fact, with spam rates as high as they are now it might be usable as a
sign of non-spam! :)

(I'll test that; it sounds just crazy enough to be true.)
