I finally had a chance to read my Network Computing Magazine at home for
May. They did a comparison on commercial antispam software. I found it
online here:

They mention 1 paragraph about Spamassassin, which in my opinion was kind of
cheeky. Mainly stating it was their recommendation for non commercial
package, but had no official support. Well, I say that depends on what you
mean by official. 

So why did they mention it anyway? Because their #1 choice for commercial
antispam product is based off of SA! Doh!!! Numerous others use it as well.
Gee, go figure! (I'm not knocking any of the commercial products. Just the
way SA gets treated like some sort of red-headed step child by media!)

This bothers me, and I'm not even a dev. I'm glad I'm not a dev, because I
like my forehead. I'm assuming if I was a dev, I would have a huge forehead
from banging it against my desk because all the work that gets done is
treated like this! 

Anyway, I'm having a bad day. So this just added on. To all the devs, and
anyone else who has ever contributed to SA in any way shape or form, thank
you! SA is great.
