It is a good detector of BULK. Bulk need not necessarily imply spam (say a
few thousand copies of bugtraq, or the langalist, or something similar
arriving for your users is also bulk).

What I'd use it as is on an outbound only mailrelay. Quite nice and easy if
you want to stop spammers in their tracks, even if they use hashbusters, or
downstream open proxies, or whatever, to inject their spam.

Inbound, I'd _tag_ rather than reject using DCC

Do you long for a change of the default font at boot up ? Look
at the kbd fonts in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts installed by the
"kbd" package". man setfont for details ... You may  prefer to
include the line in your.bashrc ...
Try : $setfont /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/b.fnt.gz
