probably not intentional, but with all the copies of the
SpamAssassin::CONF files all over the world (and the silly spammers
harvesting anything with @ in it)
The poor folks at <http://www.ress.com> must be wondering why they keep
getting emails for 'add'
<http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.3.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html>
I just went through with our FAQ/Documentation/ marketing folks and
asked them to make sure they use 'u...@example.com' and not the random
aol addresses they might have used when documenting things.

looks like it accepts wildcard email entries (I put in a random
address), so, this will be causing some backscatter as well. Either
bounces, or if using earthlink CR, the forged sender might be getting a
CR challenge backscatter email.
suggest: sed -i '' '/@ress.com/@example.com/g' on the perl code.
