If you're using a more or less default SA configuration, this dacl will
delay lots of messages.  Example: SUBJ_ALL_CAPS and you're above one.

When using the default configuration, everything below 3-4 will get you
too many false positives.

I remember that being one of my main motivations for multiple spamd
dacls.  In reality, though, I've never seen such a case.  At least not
in conjunction with systems that need manual user input in order to
update a certain database (RBLs, Razor).  Systems where the database
gets updated automatically (DCC) sometimes managed to add weight after
an initial delay of 4-8 hours.
