If the IPNOTINMX and NOLEGITCONTENT tests are displayed in the
X-Spam-Tests-Failed: header in a message does that mean the message
passed or failed the tests in question?
It means that it failed those tests.
Which is better for a message to have points subtracted off it's total

Both filters will fail above 90% of the time on typical traffic
patterns. I give 10% of my hold weight in credit for passing IPNOTINMX
and 20% of my hold weight in credit for NOLEGITCONTENT. A fair amount
of spam will pass IPNOTINMX, however these will only be static spam

Hello, Robert,
It sounds like you are not using them as intended. From my readings on this
list instead of adding points to an e-mail if a particular e-mail fails this
test you are supposed to use these to subtract points from an e-mail if they
pass this test.
R. Scott, isn't that correct?

Most of the mail sent by mail clients within my organization fails the
IPNOTINMX and REVDNS.
That is quite common.
Is there a way for me to setup Declude to skip this test if the mail is
sent from a range of IP blocks?
No. However:
Alternatively is there a way for mail to automatically pass

I get a ton of spam that is marked with the IPNOTINMX. What is the best way
to block this?
The best way is NOT to block it. The IPNOTINMX test will indeed catch a
lot of spam, but it will also catch a lot of legitimate E-mail. Normally,
it should be used to help legitimate E-mail (with the

The E-mail definitely should not fail the IPNOTINMX test, as the IP it came

My expected behavior would be that this piece of mail *SHOULD* have had

Correct.

IPNOTINMX can someone tell me what to do with : IPNOTINMX ??? All the
incoming messages fail the test ... Can't find the line to edit it in
