I get HABEAS mail sent to email addresses that have not been active in 10 years
and have never EVER signed up for anything whatsoever. I get HABEAS mail sent
to new admin@ email addresses on new domains, domains that have never sent any
email at all.

No I won't, because I don't use spamassassin to BLOCK mail. I simply score it
and if it scores over 5.0 it gets moved to the .SPAM folder where people are
free to recover it if they want. I've never had a single complaint about HABEAS
messages being misstagged as spam.
