even this is risky. If a sender uses a broken MUA (malformed html or
mime, invalid headers, bad/unnecessary quoted-printable, NO_REAL_NAME,
...) and relays via a "bad" ISP (listed in many BLs, adds advertizing
footers that resemble those found in spam, ... etc), then the score can
get higher than one excepts.

And if one adds rules that seem so natural, the situation can get worst.
I remember adding rules to catch '&' in URIs. This seemed great until I
got an FP. I then looked more at my rule and found a bug.

yes, I prefer this. If needed, one can use a script to run SA, possibly
with a different config, adding "unsafe" rules, to sort the spam into
few groups, and deal with each group.
