Of course I don't propose any sort of rules changes. Generally, someone's
bad behavior will speak for itself in that the more egregious their
spamming, the more URI & RBL blacklists they will appear on. Also, use of
spammer's obfuscation techniques or sending mail from a spam gang's server
also speaks for itself.

But I do hate the idea of someone sending out < 10 unsolicited but
hand-typed e-mails being treated the same as a spammer sending out 10,000
unsolicited and impersonal e-mails per day... but somehow I think that this
is already taken care of in spite of what some of the more aggressive mail
administrators have said today.
