Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Possible test

[Matthew Bramble]

I don't see why you (or rather anyone) would want to add any weight for 
such a thing.  While spam constitutes about 95% of my late-night 
traffic, my FP's are already spread through the hours fairly evenly 
since most of those are from automated mailers of some sort, and adding 
points to everything that comes at certain hours would probably create a 
lot more issues, even if scored very low.

You would want to make sure that your time based weight isn't too harsh.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Possible test

Would it be feasible to add a test for the time of arrival of an e-mail?
Used alone it is no good, but in the Declude weighted system I think it
would be very useful.
The theory behind this is to give e-mails that are delivered between X hours
of the day ( say 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a..m.)  a weight of 5 (hold on 20).
Since most of my spam is delivered during the wee hours, this should help in
further reducing it without totally affecting normal night owls sending
e-mail.
Thanks,

Jason
