Well, I've added a -2 for email from Amazon, but I thought other people
might like a warning.
Thanks. Warning appreciated.
I think that the people who made derogatory claims about "Tony's logic",
or claimed that "you don't understand" had failed to appreciate what
"These messages are wanted by their recipients so should not be
scored as spam by SpamAssassin" means. Anyone who disagrees with that
piece of logic would appear to be using Spamassassin for a purpose that
its designers didn't think of.
Tony's phrasing implied that he thought the scoring was so wrong
that it should be modified by the people who wrote the rule and ran
it against mass checks. That logic is dead wrong.
The correct phrasing might have indicated there is a problem for some
sites with Amazon failing RFCi requiring a special rule to negate
Amazon.com's negative scores on RFCi.
Demanding that the RFCi rules vanish into the night just is not going
to fly. And it indicates flawed thought processes.
