Because some people post spam to this list either because (a) it didn't get a very high score, and they want to know why, or (b) it did get a reasonable score, but there's something interesting they want to point out to people on the list, or (c) it got a high score when it wasn't spam, and they want to know why. All of those are arguably legitimate use of the list. In addition, the authors of SpamAssassin know well that no spam filtering software can be 100% effective. > Wait, this appears to be a SF.net list, so perhaps "we can't slip in a > spamfilter, as we don't own the site"? I'm sure that if anyone thought it was that important, they'd host the list somewhere else. > BTW, love how you guys just love to quote the whole message in your > replies, the more bytes, the merrier, yummm, headers and all.
