We obviously aren't throwing out SpamAssassin just because a few problems pop up now and then.
I did. In 2002 or 2003, they made a change which caused my then-users to lose mail. I can't remember the details now (something to do with rewriting mails too aggressively, leading to empty messages, and some changed defaults) but I still remember the shame of it, seven or eight years ago.
It was in a sense my fault, because I didn't test a new version nearly thoroughly enough.
I kept SpamAssassin available for my users, but I haven't used it myself since then, and don't plan to ever turn it on by default ever again.
Trust is hard-gained and easily lost.
7+ years ago. And I still feel ashamed.
