Here's how we use it and why. We're an ISP and we allow users to use the [EMAIL PROTECTED] whitelist feature to not have any of their messages scanned for spam. When a message was sent to two or more recipients and one of them used the [EMAIL PROTECTED] option every recipient received the message no matter how many tests it failed. So because someone wanted all their messages they caused other users, who wanted us to stop their spam, get spam. In other words, the subscribers had more power to control the spam then I did. We had one subscriber get 30 spam messages in one day because in everyone of those messages another subscriber, who used [EMAIL PROTECTED], was a recipient also. With this feature, I now have more power than the subscribers. I can say any message sent to two recipients that has a weight of 100+ can be deleted. This protects the subscribers that don't want spam and those that do won't miss something weighted that high (we delete on 40).
