That implies that 2 copies of that message have been reported, and no one yet has reported a copy as extremely bulky with `dccproc -H -t many` > ...so I think the underlying mechanism is working, question is, why are > all the Fuz2's normal? Even if I was somehow modifying > the message (which I don't think I am), wouldn't Fuz2 ignore it? I don't talk about the Fuz1 and Fuz2 algorithms; if you really care, you know where to look. Besides, consider the advertising text added to passing mail by the service providers that do that sort of thing. I doubt a useful spam filter would want to ignore it. > By the way here is the original message. > ... That dccm at your site said the DCC target counts for that copy of my response to your first message were 1 suggests that it had not been reported to your current DCC server more than once or to any other DCC server with a total target count large enough to justify flooding its checksums to other DCC servers. That is not very surprising because this is not a very large mailing list and it is probably more likely than most to be whitelisted by its subscribers. Whitelisted mail is not reported to any DCC server. That's why I see "Body=0 Fuz1=0 Fuz2=0" here for the same text. As with any mailing list, you ought to whitelist this list for DCC filtering. One way is mentioned on the web page for this list at http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc See also the demonstration of the proof-of-concept cgi scripts for maintaining per-user private whitelist in the DCC source at http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc-demo-cgi-bin/ with user name cgi-demo and password cgi-demo Vernon Schryver [email protected] _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
