    Wow!

    I have just discovered a serious mis-judgment by the spamassassin folks,
    or possibly by the debian maintainer of spamassassin!

       /usr/share/spamassassin/60_whitelist.cf

    This file contains ``Default whitelists'' ... ``addresses which send
    mail that is often tagged (incorrectly) as spam ...''

       amazon.com
       walmart.com
       orbitz.com

    I don't know about any of you; but, I really want the opportunity -- up
    front -- to decide *FOR MYSELF* whether or not I consider the email sent
    to me from these sites to be spam.

    Frankly, I regularly receive spam from orbitz, and recently I have
    received spam from amazon. By spam, I mean email for which I have made
    *NO* request, and have no desire to receive . . .

    What do you think?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
we think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
