pity, another opportunity lost.  there is no harm in turning the filter 
on.  You just need to make the baseline value high enough for stamp to 
activate its rule.  in other words, if the stamp value is below a 
minimum setting, it has no effect and will prevent spammers from using 
trivial stamp sizes to game spamassassin.
