Honestly, I cannot see a real advantage here ...
SA is an extremely stable system. SA speed is not bad, and it have no
idea why rspamd has 'better quality'???

you can also implement this without rspamd.

That already works with the current system (See AVAST code ...)

I already told you why rejecting is bad...

why exactly (any numbers)?

This does not make any sense to me.
