Then you shouldn't be a system administrator of a linux based system.

A mechanic of 2 seater Cessna's wouldn't be repairing a 747 or DC-10. A
helicopter pilot wouldn't fly a DC-10. Why would anything but a experienced
Linux System Administrator be administrating a linux System?

SpamAssassin is also probably more powerful than other packages.

Perhaps than Linux based packages should have been left out? Was this an
article directed at IT staff or the end user? If I were an end user, and
read your article, I'd probably be pretty upset if my ISP used SA. It sure
sounds like a BAD program to me!

Do you mind if I copy your reply to my on list post (you sent it via
e-mail, not cc'd to the list) to the list?

Thanks.

Evan
