Nothing hugely wrong with that, on the contrary:-). I think we
(over-)reacted to the phrasing more than anything.
Jules has historically been very forgiving when it comes to things
like this that are ... really OT... but could be construed as
productive/informative and leading to our MailScanner systems working
better as a whole... And I suppose he will continue to do so, unless
he gets a) worse, or b) even more inundated than he's been lately.

You got to get someone to service that ASAP, that or get some chicken
wings and a pint or two of goats blood... I hear fish entrails should
be usable too:-D.

Trying to shift this (yet again!) blatantly off-topic message more
on-topic... I'm with Drew here, rejecting everything like that could
get Anan onto some BLs pretty quick... Trying out milter-null (if at
all possible) or doing some semi-intelligent header_checks should be a
far safer route to go.
