I use it at three commercial sites, soon to be four, and am
responsible for its deployment on about ten others.

Because 99% of the time, end-users are complete morons who
couldn't find their own butts with both hands, a funnel, and a
roadmap. The vast majority of them can't handle sorting based on
tagging criteria. Heck, my facility took a call from a guy yesterday
who didn't understand why he couldn't see his email on the
screen...he rebooted his computer and hadn't started up his web browser.
(don't get me started about his use of a web browser to read email
in the first place)

If amavisd's quarantining code is removed for any reason, I'll
have to write a replacement myself, because I won't run a mail server
without that functionality.
