[Rspamd-Users] Is RSPAMD racist?

[Rob Gunther]

Seems both Microsoft and Google will be Allowlist and Blocklist.

I think the UK government is going with slightly different terminology.

Crazy times...

First your monuments, then your breakfast condiments, now your email
security software.  You are always offending someone...   :-(
