The official corporate tool is BrightMail but on our department IMAP 
server we run SpamAssassin. Having seen them both in action I have to 
say that SA gives better results tagging email than BrightMail does. Of 
course, this is a statement without a clue because I don't know how the 
corporate SMTP team has configured BrightMail.

On the subject of false-positives, SA does tag some ham as spam for me, 
but only on the SA-Talk list where it is common to see examples of spam 
forwarded for the SA developers to evaluate. If I bothered to customize 
the SA install to whtielist the SA-Talk mailing list I'm sure all my 
false-positives would go away.
