[OT] Should I implement senderscore?

[Håkon Alstadheim]

I see rspamd has functionality to use "senderscore", defaulting to
disabled. I've tried to google for experiences with this service. Lots
of hits for /senders/ to improve their score, but I can't find anything
on using it for scoring incoming mail. E.g. do they show many false
positives? Do they operate "ethically" (for whatever definition of
ethical one might use) ? Is the free registration usable, or do I need
to be a paying customer to get any /real/ benefit?

Seeing as I'm looking to maybe turn this on in rspamd, I'm hoping this
slightly off-topic question will be OK.

Regards, Håkon.

Where do you see it disabled by default?

Like other reputation lists, I wouldn't trust them by themselves, but I
weigh them in with the rest.

Ah, my bad, I had disabled it myself : - ) . Enabling now, see how it goes.
