And you think that's the correct way to do it? Spamassassin by default 
misfires for German language mails, giving 4.1 points in error, so 
everybody receiving german mails should reconfigure all of their 
servers? 
Would you give the same advice if there's a rule that gives 4.1 on 
really every mail? "Just reconfigure locally" is OK when it's local 
condition, e.g. when someone rescores to catch spam at something else 
than 5.0 points. But you can't write wrong rules and require everybody 
else to patch. I guess and hope you're not the maintainer of any rules. 
There's a bug, it needs a fix. Not a local one, but a global.
