Yes, we know. However, that does not address any of the other issues.

There have not been any QA for that list yet, let alone long-time stats.
For that we don't know about its performance or reliability. QA and
evaluation needs to be done first. Plus, we lack the necessary plugin
that can apply this logic.

And here we got another problem. SA does not reject. SA can't and isn't
meant to. However, if properly built into the chain, your MTA can.
Either based on the total score, or a hit of that yet-to-code plugin
under discussion. This is already possible.

Back to square one. Need QA, need the plugin...
