    Your stats on mail processed is also going to double.  If you're feeling
brave try updating to Exim4 and give SA-Exim a whirl.  Only a single delivery
per message and much finer control over what happens to the message.  :)

    Bad idea.  You'll note my message has an attachment on it.  According to
some recent stats so do about 30% of this list.  Attachments are a tool.  Like
any tool they can be used properly or improperly.  Let SA's Bayesian filters
figure out which instead of making a improper blanket rule.
