The FREEMAIL test is a test that someone defined using the "Your own sender blacklists" section of the manual (in "Advanced Configuration"). Note that the FREEMAIL test, as originally designed (to list E-mail coming from free E-mail services like yahoo.com) isn't meant to be a spam test by itself (since lots of legitimate mail comes from such accounts). However, it might add to the weighting system, or be used to add a warning to the headers. >I would like to work AS MANY test into my checks as >possible to provide the best possible protection. Then you'll want to take a look at http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm , which lists over 50 of 'em. >I'm currently thinking of 3 levels. > >The "often tripped" and less serious tests would be a 5. > DSN > NOABUSE > NOPOSTMASTER > etc. > >The more serious infractions would get a 10. > MAILFROM > PERCENT > ROUTING > SPAMHEADERS > etc. > >The "almost definitely SPAM" tests would get a 15. > SPAMCOP > etc. > >I want to mark the 15 threshold as SPAM in the subject so my customers can >do their own filtering. That sounds like a good plan. I'd change the SPAMCOP to a 14, though, as we're now hearing of more false positives than it used to have. By setting it to 14, and having 15 be the threshold, it will require another test besides SPAMCOP to be triggered before the spam would get caught. >I will probably also HOLD anything hitting a mark of 20 or 30. > >I assume this would be as easy as: > ># Defined in global.cfg >WEIGHT15 weight x x 10 0 >WEIGHT20 weight x x 20 0 > ># Setup in $default$.JunkMail >WEIGHT15 SUBJECT >WEIGHT20 HOLD That's correct. >I'm assuming that what I've listed above would work, and that I understand >the weighting system correctly.

There is no full list, because you can define your own (such as the FREEMAIL test), as well as use others that could appear at any time in the future (DNS-based tests). But, the manual and the URL above should list almost all of the ones that may be useful. Also, the latest default configuration files include all the tests that we know about that we think may be useful (plus a few that may not be useful). -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
