Scott, do you recommend using both BADHEADERS and SPAMHEADERS?  I use both,
along with the LOOSENSPAMHEADERS directive, and I'm wondering if SPAMHEADERS
incorporates BADHEADERS... It seems that when I see SPAMHEADERS, I very
often see BADHEADERS.

On the other hand, maybe I'm just getting used to seeing BADHEADERS in Spam
Review because so many mailing lists set it off!

I haven't used your web lookup tool much, but I'm getting used to seeing the
date violation code in both.

Andrew.

Note that while the HELOBOGUS and REVDNS tests are signs of a sloppy admin, 
the MAILFROM and BADHADHEADERS tests indicate RFC violations that aren't 
trivial.  In the case of MAILFROM, bounce messages won't be deliverable, 
and in the case of BADHEADERS, the E-mail may just disappear.  Those are 
problems that must be fixed.
