I disagree. I think a spam filter should do it's best to give a reasonable weight to both whitelists and blacklists. Obviously, a default SA install needs a bit of tweaking to get the best accuracy, but the default install should be as good as possible and that includes finding the best rules, blacklists, and whitelists to include in the default ruleset as well as generating reasonable scores for all of them. Any bad rules (regex rules, blacklists, or whitelists) should show up quickly enough as just about everyone would start seeing problems with them. In this case, there are a few people complaining about the Habeas rules, but just as many people who do not see any problems. -- Bowie
