We have counterweight filter files for all of our higher weight tests. For example, if hotmail ifs failing SORBS-SPAM across the board and we decide to exempt them from that test, then we'll add a REVDNS test to the counterweight file for SORBS-SPAM. This way we can effectively turn tests on

not strictly using webmail? To me it implies that to cover all bases you would have to have in your SPF string ?all and there would be no way to make it stricter than that, other than to force all your users to use webmail and not Outlook. Gary Original Message From: Darin Cox
