      It has reduced our spam by 95% and I've only seen 3 instances of false positives in 4 months of it being active.

      The question is, how many false positives are okay?

      You try to have as little false positives as possible while also having as little spam as possible. Can't prevent either 100%

      That's not really an answer. And yes, you can prevent the one 100%.

      Exactly - don't filter, and you will have 0% false positives.

          You will need to trigger the spam filters and get a list of every country domain.
