There is a difference in saying something and actually providing some data.
I'm sorry but this sounds like "True Believers" (no need to prove anything)
vs "Scepticists" (no matter what you prove, it doesn't matter to them). :-)
Here is my full documentation. I don't really care if you are on sa-users
list and claim to not even have access to spamd, but if we keep going, let's
base the claims on hard data? If MD behaves differently, that's another
matter and not relevant to SA.
