I don't recall anyone claiming Emailreg.org was related to Habeas?
Habeas has enough bulkers on it to make a simple paupers 'pay to spam'
list like Emailreg pale into total insignificance.

Whist Micheal Perone may have a bit of a chequered history as far as
bulk mail goes, it would be unfair to compare Emailreg/Barracuda on a
like for like basis with a bulk mailer/spammer like Return
Path - and the can of wheel grease that is Habeas.

The point comes back to this and it has *not* been answered sensibly;
WHY DOES SPAMASSASSIN DEFAULT INSTALL WITH A NEGATIVE SCORING RULE THAT
FAVOURS A COMMERCIAL BULK MAILER. Namely the negative score for Habeas?

Ship it with a 0.0 score, the problem goes. Leave it as it is and it
smells corrupt. It's that old addage. If it looks corrupt, and it
smells corrupt, it's probably corrupt.

Perhaps the time has come for a fork of Spamassassin where these
commercial considerations are not so obvious?
