Well...
1. I agree, that if the filter incorrectly flags a mail as spam,
then the filter needs to be corrected, because it's not working as
it's designed (filter real spams without filtering real mails.)
Antispam lists are supposed to be transparent to legit users, after
all.
2. But if a mail relay is blacklisted on multiple antispam lists,
then that needs to be corrected, too, for practical reasons.
Just my 2 cents..
