Re: [Declude.JunkMail] DOW test and Spam on specific days
Haven't tried it but I doubt it. I don't know if Scott is overlapping 7 and zero for range checks. If the test is defined as DOW dow X Y 2 0 The code probably just checks for >=X and <= Y... and since no numbers are both >= 6 and <= 0 at the same time, no days would get caught. Scott, please correct me if I've assumed badly...

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] DOW test and Spam on specific days
Scott, you have far less ham on weekends. Hypothetically, a company like yours might use the day of week test to add a little weight on the weekend, on the basis that your false positives from doing so will be fewer. I have a similar volume pattern. And to answer Mark's initial question, another idea for a way to use DOW is to combine it with the COPYFILE action to, say, archive every message that comes in on Thursday. And no, I don't use the DOW test.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] DOW test and Spam on specific days
I believe Sunday is day zero, so you would need two tests. For example... DOW_SUN dow 0 0 2 0 DOW_SAT dow 6 6 2 0 I don't have statistics to show you, but I can say more spam comes in on a weekday than on weekends, and more on Saturday than Sunday. We weight Sunday a little higher due to much less legit mail on Sunday.
