I would not have a problem with negative score whitelist if every legitimate hotmail / gmail server was only sending out legitimate e-mails, but unfortunately some people manage to send spam through the actual hotmail / gmail servers.
Backscatter is indeed getting annoying but im having trouble finding where this is configured.
Other then that I have very few false positives, not enough for me to warrant messing with the sorbs score. Only real issue i'm having is hotmail getting blocked.
