The problem exists anyway, since long nonspam messages are more likely to trigger multiple rules. I have a user who sends out long messages containing many summaries of news stories, and they've been rejected by SA at another site because they hit so many rules they reached as many as 10 points. One managed to trigger EARN_MONEY, HOT_NASTY, IMPOTENCE, ITS_LEGAL, OPT_IN_CAPS, and PENIS_ENLARGE2, along with BAYES_99 (presumably because the other site's SA has learned some of his previous messages). The message was perfectly legitimate and didn't contain anything that you'd notice as spammy-sounding when you read through it. -- Keith C.
