I think his rant is realy directed at people who setup SA to automatically
reject/delete mail that hits the threshold score. He doesn't seem to realise
that's not the way your supposed to do it. I might point out that I am the
postmaster for a domain that sends out 100s of thousands of emails a week
(Subscribed users ONLY) and I have run in to some of these problems myself.
I have a Dennis Leary quote for this occation:
"Life sucks, Get a fucking helmet"
The computer world is not easy... Getting huffy and stomping your feet
doesn't make it better.
