Isn't this the local trusted servers?

I do think these are mostly warranted, but the problem here (for me, I
suppose) is that I just purchased a subscription to try and support them,
but their support is horrible. Unresponsive. I realize it's mostly a
volunteer type of thing, but shouldn't they be able to support it as well?!

The problem I see with this one is that the reason why users would be in
the welcomelist is because of a failure of other rules. Certainly never
advisable to add end-users to the list, but what else do you do when bayes
has gone askew (because bayes makes mistakes) and people aren't getting
their newsletters that are otherwise trusted, or a machine-generated
invoice is tagged for having missing or malformed headers that would
otherwise be blocked?

Another problem with offsetting these rules is it doesn't take into account
the KAM rules that generally have very high scores with the intention of
having these scores to offset his heavy handed approach.
