There is a big difference between what one can filter in 8.8.8 and 8.9.0.

I ran my own and later Claus's Assman's *.mc stuff on 8.8.X.  Under
8.8.8 you can't filter on (internal) header data.  Thats a *very* big
lose.  Check your spam sometime and see how many realy easy kills you
get by filtering on any of the following headers:

	To: friend@public.com
	X-UIDL:  *
	X-PMFLAGS: *
	X-COMMENTS: Authenticated sender is *
	DATE: x________*
	X-MAILER:  <one of several spam mailers>

Back when 8.9.0 came out the spam filter rate of the above tests alone
was well over 90%.
