Assume a spam filter that's 99.8% accurate. This is probably a *high* estimate - we're talking only 2 errors per every thousand mails... Assume several million messages a day (which is *not* a very large load by today's standards - we're merely a large university, and even *after* subtracting spam and virus mail, we're in that range)... Calculate how many mails get dropped into oblivion each day. I suspect that you and I have differing definitions of "*perfectly* safe".....
