Yup, sure is, afaict.

The default config of spamassasin seems to make some rather weird and
wonderful assumptions about what spam constitutes. That, and it is quite
talented at getting fooled by stuff like bogus HELO / EHLO strings etc.
That, like any other content filter, is prone to lots of errors.
Something like the DCC or Vipul's Razor - which check for bulkiness rather
than actual content, might be a better idea. Especially something which does
not try to automate the "complain about spam" process.

LOST #009 -**< Sub : User floppy mount >**-
NOT RECOMMENDED for a multiuser system. For a stand-alone box
add to /etc/fstab, (where /floppy is your mount point). Then,
$mount /floppy ... as an user will do the trick ...
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,nosuid,nodev,noauto,user 0 0
