I suppose it should be OK because I would hope anybody with a volume of mail 
will at least read the config file and make sane choices.
That is until we get the next flood of "My mailscanner install is timing out 
and all I have is zen and half a million messages a day"

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

At least when zen blackballs you they just firewall your machines address and 
you time out fairly quickly.

There is plenty of docs in the wiki that show the best practices and other 
sane choices.

My systems will always have no lists in mailscanner. If I trust the list I 
dump it at the MTA, if not I score it in spamassassin and add up the totals.

But I realize that what works for me might not only not work for someone else, 
but might be against local regulations.

You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
