True. You have to check your filters every so often to make sure you
are not getting too many "false positives". But now days, even if
you are not sending from a .biz domain, chances are I would not read
private mail from you. If the mail is not from a mailing list I am
subscribed to, or from someone that I normally get mail from, it may
not get looked at before it get deleted because of its age. If I get
time, I will go through that mail box, but if I don't, I don't. I
may be missing some mail that I would have found interesting, but I
only have so much time. There are also a few other things that will
get a message flagged for a closer look, but I am not going to post
them here.

There is not perfect solution for mail filtering. All you can do is
find one that works for you. And you have to modify your filtering
as conditions change. Who knows, maybe someone will find a way to
get rid of spam...
