That's bizarre. I see similar (lack of) patterns. I checked the other
3 domains I host; one has 0 hits at all, another has only 4 hits, all of
them rejected by clamav, and the last one has 11 hits, all of them
rejected by spamassassin. Still none of the messages got delivered, though.

That final domain makes me think I might get around to this some day
after all -- anything I can do to reduce spamassassin load is a good thing.

That's an investigation for another day... :)

Sure, I didn't mean to say that it would be worth removing if I already
had it -- it just didn't seem to be worth investing a configure/test
cycle into implementing it yet.
