Jason, this isn't an openbsd issue. it's a spews issue.
Like I said, personally, I've just stopped using
spews[12]. they've gotten too aggressive. Before there were any
other options this might have made sense. Now there are, and imnso
this level of baby-in-bathwater chucking is simply not worth it.
Along with the next round of spamd changes, I will probably remove
the spews examples, just because I'm sick to death of hearing about
this too :)
