Like others, we have experienced that this does catch legitimate
mail generated by CGIs and the like. We have to back off this as
it was capturing CGI that was from our machines as well as a few
others.
We tested the weighting feature over the holidays and found this
to be really wonderful. Like your email indicated Scott, that you
were able to capture about 95% of all spam, we have had similar
results and were able to back off the delete SpamCop we used before.
Properly tweaked we found this to be one of Declude's most powerful
features.
We have had to whitelist some with this new configuration. I suppose
whitelisting could be used to qualify BADHEADERS as long as you know
the IPs or FROMs of the originating CGI..?
