 No need to waste resources when you don't have to, so before hitting spamc you
should /dev/null all the e-mails with charsets that belong to languages you
don't understand (be careful, some do contain most of the basic latin-
characters as well as the "wierd" stuff; one of the two FPs I've had this year
was because I'd set KOI8-R as a "spam only" charset, thinking that it was
russian cyrillic characters only... oooops...).

 And... you shouldn't /dev/null everything SA says is spam, there will be even
high scoring FPs.
