Patrick,
exactly so. Our user base here is paranoid about losing genuine messages so we only reject on very high spam scores (>100). The
rest are tagged and client and exim filtering based on user set scores are applied to recived messages. Without the spamd state
check we were passing significant numbers of obvious spam messages without appropriate headers when spamd was down.
