That seems all well and good, but what if you next test has a large negative weight? If your email didn't get the chance to fail that test, you may get many more false positives.
Perhaps if there was a way to order the tests so the admin could put all the tests that have the potential of a negative weight first then you could implement such an option. But, I get the feeling that the bulk of our tests are DNS based and there is more waiting for the results than anything else. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Brody Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 10:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Test order and whitelist You know, this brings up another point. We use a weighting method and consider all >20 weights to be spam. Once that weight is reached, it would make sense to stop testing to save proc time. Just food for thought. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

What you want is the "PREWHITELIST ON" option of the latst beta version. That will automatically bypass scanning of E-mail that gets whitelisted for certain reasons (not all, though). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
