I don't ever complain of false negatives. If I'm honest I see plenty of
those anyway *with* the checks in place. I take a simple 'stupid' view.
You can spend so much time writing rules and tweaking them but have to
accept that some spammers will just beat them every time.

There is reading and there is understanding - but this is a pointless

anything other than wasting multiple DNS lookups. At no point have I
said it will improve results. Please go back and review what is actually
written and stop being anal.
