hey, I've been thinking about this.

I agree that it shouldn't be used on a trap server.  However I'm not
mass-checking any of the traps currently; I mass-check my own spam/ham.
I already reject at SMTP connect time using SBL/XBL, which means that, what is
it, 40% of incoming spam is not represented in my spam corpus?   I'll
bet quite a few of the other mass-checkers are doing the same, or even
using other SMTP-time tactics, like greylisting or other DNSBLs.

As a result, if we're worried about our filtering tactics affecting our corpora,
and affecting mass-check results on network tests, IMO that horse has already
bolted, to a substantial degree....



ok, things still to do on this bug:

- a test for shortcircuit;
- I need to dogfood it on my server as well;
- figure out what to do with the branch.
