Unfortunately, the data Spam Reader has been fed conflicted with the emails I receive quite a bit as well, and I had to correct many false positive decisions. The automatic white lists help a bit, of course, and Spam Reader can detect mailing lists, too, suggesting you whitelist the list's address.
Like any good Bayesian filter, Spam Reader does learn and becomes pretty good at spotting spam — after some training. Fortunately, teaching Spam Reader is easy, and you can configure nicely what happens when you mark a message junk or good mail.
Unfortunately, and this is an area where Spam Reader can really improve, there is no way to sort spam by its score, and neither does Spam Reader know an "unsure" category. You always have to go through all spam to find the messages that barely made it to the junk folder.
A definite plus is how seamlessly Spam Reader works with all of Outlook's account types. It would be nice if messages recovered from the "Spam" folder were put back to their original folders, though.
