Thank you, Scott.  This is exactly what I had in mind -- to lower Habeas
weights sufficiently to reduce false positives while also catching
Habeas abuse.

Do I have this right?
The problem is that the point behind the Habeas test is its protection against abuse -- if spammers do try to abuse it, they will be hunted down and money (spare change, most likely, given the average spammer) pulled from their pockets.

If the Habeas headers *were* widely abused, it would become almost useless as a spam test.

Remove default "WHITELIST HABEAS"
Add "HABEAS habeas x x -20 0" to reduce false positives
Add "HABEAS WARN" to catch Habeas abusers (when weight is still high)
In mail client, filter on X-RBL-WARNING contains HABEAS and
X-RBL-WARNING contains WEIGHT10
This would work fine.
