Significantly more mails quarantined with 8.200 SMTP proxy

MarCow
I'm using the latest 8.200 soft release as a software appliance install on an ASG 220.  Since the upgrade, I'm seeing 2-3 times more legitimate mail being quarantined compared to 8.103.  As one example, notification emails from nytdirect@nytimes.com were never quarantined by 8.103, but are always quarantined by 8.200.  I didn't see anything in the release notes that suggested a major revamp of the anti-spam SMTP filtering, but maybe I missed something?  I realize I could add all the exceptions into the proxy, but this could be quite time-consuming.  Also, selecting "Release and report as false positive" doesn't appear to allow emails from that same address through next time around, but I could just be misunderstanding the meaning of that option.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Best regards,
Martin.

    mlenk, I disagree - this catches no new spam.  It only blocks opt-in emails.

    It is short-sighted to hard-set the Proxy to block bulk emails - admins will not be happy that there's no opportunity to switch this behavior off.

    Please recommend that the developer in charge of this add an appropriate select box on the Anti-Spam tab prior to ending the soft-release of 8.200.

    Cheers - Bob
