Andrew: How is this going?

I find that my own server -- which has 2 email users and a properly set up resolver -- is now being blocked. I think we have arrived at it being time to just drop all VALIDITY rules from the default rulset. Even if people using them in meta rules have to adjust (or add them back as local config). The query limits are so low that it is hard to imagine any significant fraction of spamassassin users being ok with them.
