[Gllug] It's August so what about a willy-waving contest (SpamAssassin)?

[Nix]

With these unadventurous custom rules:

score SPAMCOP_URI_RBL   3.0
score WS_URI_RBL        3.0
score OB_URI_RBL        3.0

my highest natural spam is 56, for a webcam porn spam. (Then there's the
`spam' constructed on the sa-talk list for the sake of getting high SA
scores, which got well over 100 points.. ;} )

I can't remember the last time I got any FPs for reasons other than bugs in
rules I'd written. It must be well over a year ago...
