Well, there are a few reasons:

(1) it makes it turn-key so that neophytes can use it more easily;

(2) you can run the same config on a cluster of servers unmodified;

(3) mobile users with dynDNS can use it.

Hmmm.  I was hoping to be able to blacklist certain countries, etc.
like Romania, China, Thailand, etc. that aren't identifiable by rDNS.

I suppose a way to manually reset a blacklisting could be done.

Or do apply it per a criteria.

BTW:  my SpamAssassin pukes at "use_terse_report 1".  What version
does that apply to?
