Sorry about that. With 41 replies already on a normally fairly quiet 
list I was trying not to get into individual solutions as this would 
presumably increase the volume even more. I was simply trying to say 
that some sort of positive rating framework or positive sender 
reputation would have something in it for certain senders who for 
legitimate reasons are already having genuine mail misclassified.
