SpamAssassin has problems with false positives related to inaccurately 
identifying mailers as being forged.  For instance, it still doesn't 
recognize the Outlook client that comes with MS Office 2003 as 
valid.  Anyone using Spam Assassin is better off reducing the weight given 
to forged mailers in the algorithm.
