Ah, OK! I haven't really thought about that, since I remember from the
old days of NANAE that people would complain about legitimate
complaints being blocked. However, it now seems like there is some
consensus behind your position, e.g.
http://rfc-ignorant.org/policy-postmaster.php
has the same policy.
My main fear is if I have I misconfiguration of my server, so I open a
relay and someone sends me a piece of spam to document it, and
SpamAssassin blocks it. That would have been kinda nasty. But that's an
issue for the spamassassin plugin, perhaps?
Cheers,
