       ...    However, because spam filters can make mistakes, it is
highly desirable (as a sanity check/second opinion) for a human to
double check automatic rejections.  Unfortunately, having a human look
at a message and decide whether to forward it on will always be viewed
as moderation/censorship by some regardless of the reasons for doing
so.
...

That seemes to assume that automated spam filters are necessarily
based on content and have significant false positive rates.  Neither
need be true.
