---- Gmail spam detection is utter garbage

I get maybe 80-150 spam emails per day.

After training their spam system I find I get maybe 1 or 2 false positives out of 1000 spam emails, considering that the false positives are just mailing list type emails that i don't read anyway it doesn't bother me.

I get maybe 2-4 spam emails each day that are put into my inbox, but after marking them as spam i very rarely see the same type of spam there again.

Considering I have all my mail pass through rbl checking on my own mailserver before being forwarded to gmail I get much less spam than if I was passing everthing though.

Overall I couldn't be happier with the gmail service. All I really want is a way of deleting labels and all of their content, and a way of emptying the spam/trash folders without having to select a page of email at a time.
