Most of the rules I had were looking for phrases in the header. Those had virtually no chance of false positives. I moved those to my Declude word filter file with a weight that will hold them or, if they fail other tests, will delete them.
I only use Hold and Delete actions so my spambox only catches a few messages a day. As soon as I finish moving my remaining rules, I'll be deleting my spam mailbox. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Keith Purtell Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 3:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Newbie question about baseline That's interesting. When you move a rule over to Declude, do you make the decision based a certainty of minimal false positives or what? As for SpamReview, here's what I've been doing to simplify viewing of likely spam. I have an IMail rule that catches some of the unique Declude language in the header, that re-directs to the IMail spambox. Then I open the box with Web Messaging. That way I don't have to review spam in two different places.

I've continued using I-mail rules also. I've made 2 changes that cut down my spambox tremendously. 1) We subscribed to Sniffer and gave it a weight high enough to hold anything tripping it. 2) I've been slowly moving my catchphrases from I-mail rules to Declude word/phrase filters. Also, get SpamReview. It's great for reviewing help spam.

Not sure I'm using it correctly. I've tinkered with the weighting system, added a hophigh of 1, established a three weight system (WEIGHT10, WEIGHT20, WEIGHT30) with different actions for each one (WARN, SUBJECT, DELETE), etc. Also read posts to this list with great interest. And continued to handle some spam with Imail's rules.ima file. However, when I check the server each morning, the spambox has at least 250 new messages, and one Monday I found 1,000. Bear in mind we only have approx 200 employees nationwide and serve a niche market. I've tried to be aggressive about automatically deleting certain incoming mail, especially using rules.ima. Hence the term "baseline" in my subject. Do more experienced postmasters find this much junk on their server and just delete it manually, or do they make better use of the software to automatically delete spam?
