[snip lengthy post] As much as I and probably many other people here sympathise with your predicament, this whole discussion about the merits of SPEWS and their policies is getting decidely off-topic for this list, which is here soley for the development of SpamAssassin. Someone (Matt ?) recently noted that the GA (for recent versions) has already scored SPEWS at or very close to 0 due to excessive numbers of false positives, and there was talk of taking the test out altogether, so from the point of view of SpamAssassin using SPEWS, I think its pretty much case closed. Arguing about whether SPEWS are doing the right thing or not in general should be taken to private email or to some other list/group where it is on topic....
