Re: [Declude.JunkMail] understanding JM scores

Can Scott or someone explain to me how the weight on this message was calculated? The weight is calculated by adding/subtracting every relevant weight for the E-mail. In almost all cases where the weights do not seem to add up, it is because the E-mail did *not* fail a spam test that is set

I've been testing a script using an external test and I seem to have come across a limitation in the length of the line. The script is definitely being called because it has it's own logging function, but Declude isn't listening to the result code that it gives. I created a single line

[Declude.JunkMail] Is this the Outlook/Space problem?

2004-10-19 Thread Goran Jovanovic
Hi, I remember reading about the Outlook and space in the header problem a while ago. I had not seen it until now (I think). Is this that problem? If I read this correctly it was send via Exchange 2000 but I do not think you can tell what version of Outlook sent it, can you? Thanx Subject:

I'm getting spam from the following netblock, but with zero ip4r tests triggering. I haven't seen any legitimate mail coming here, so I'm putting a conservative weight on this, and you might find it useful too in a filter file: REMOTEIP 4 CIDR 69.200.64.0/19 Matt from MailPure.com has a

[Declude.JunkMail] DOW test and Spam on specific days

Assuming we wanted to setup a Sat-Sun DOW test with a weight of 2 for the message hitting on the weekend, I guess we would use: DOW dow 6 7 2 0 Correct? Having said that, does anyone have any metrics on what days more spam comes in? --- [This E-mail was scanned for

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

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,
