I refuse to allow spammers this victory. My machines are fully
capable members of the internet, and I deliver my own email. My
philosophy is that if people drop mail from me due to incompetence
(since setting up machines to classify email from me as spam is
indeed a misconfiguration), then I have no real desire to impose my
musings on them.
