In general nothing can be done about it. All upper case is pretty
good spam-sign. The source of the messages could reduce it to usual
sentence capitalization and solve the problem right out. I would
suggest that the SARE whitelist have the source of these warnings
included. But the rules used by any given site are up to the site
manager's whims and prerogative, as are the scores ultimately.
It would also help if the bozoids involved understood how SA works.
All caps is not a word or letter count sensitive rule.
