Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OSRELAY question.

I've found that my scoring in Declude shouldn't be indicative of what is most commonly associated with spam only, but also what is most commonly associated with other tests and false positives.  This speaks to the trouble with rating the individual blacklists, scoring them in isolation from one another isn't quite as informative as you would think it would be, although it is quite valuable to know the false positive rates of each individual test so you can avoid them or score them lower. Maybe instead of a rating, people could come up with a standardized rule base that blacklists use for blocking and removal, that way you could determine from the rule base whether or not they are likely to so something defeatist like block Yahoo/SBC's mail servers or rely on a slow update process for open relays.
