The problem is, all the OT crap of this list, means those with real 
problems get ignored, the past few months have been hectic for Julian, if 
the list had only 5 posts a day that were only MailScanner related, its 
highly likely he would have had time to read it and help those with 
problems, I'm aware of some that had to wait till he returned.

Noise delays resolutions, I've seen so many knowledgeable people on many 
lists who can help people with problems cease to help because they miss
the posts because they do a high speed skim becaudse of trash that doesnt
belong there. For instance one of the Red Hat based lists that I was
a key contributor once, years later I'm still on the list, but all I do
these days is hit dddddddddddddddddddddddd -> to the end, the subject 
line display in pine tells me its all noise.

I am the first to admit I have participated in a good deal of the noise, 
but as spare my time is now coming to halt, theres little chance of that
continuing.

MTA tweaking with a configuration for MailScanner is of course signal. 
but back chatter and milters is high level noise, they are not caused nor 
introduced by MailScanner and will be there before and if you remove 
MailScanner.
