Wow, i must be an uber-geek, at least 200 a day with over 100 legitimate;) (ok, almost entirly mailing lists):(
I use SA as well, and it does a good job if kept trained (except for kmail blocks when filtering.)
I find that white-listing any known recipeients prior to filtering is very benificial, but I guess not very usful for a business (where you don't know whos sending to you), except for collegues. I also keep one account private except for people I know personally, that way if they need to get a message to me, they can.
Muting the sound by default is not actually a mistake.
Different drivers and audio programs output at different levels, and so switching from windows to linux might result in blown speakers if the sound wasn't muted by default. (sometimes the driver developers find they can get more volume out of a sound card than the windows drivers allow, hence in a worst-case scenario you could spread parts of your speakers across your room).
It should probably be documented though, as many users may not know about this.
I would agree with this to some extent, but if new developers can't scratch their own itches, then they may just walk.
One effective way of avoiding risks associated with feature creep is to use some form of plugin system. Some projects use this quite effectivly, so that each new feature dosent mess up the rest of your code base.
This does all depend on how long and how many developers you have.

I also don't need to get dressed special to run to work. You work in you PJs then? Glad I don't work with you.
