I have recently discovered that the pro version's filter capabilities are a very important tool for tagging spam that otherwise passes through. I would recommend the upgrade highly, though not specifically for this purpose. I've been able to add points to low scoring spam with a very high degree of accuracy, and I have probably halved what was getting through before while reducing false positives by relying less on scoring from places like SpamCop and MailPolice which are unfortunately prone to FP'ing on legit mail blasts.

Declude Standard - no filters.
Otherwise, it would work. The idea is to add enough weight to bring it over the edge.
A problem with the primary down test is that Declude is doing its scanning
on the primary, and it would never be down when Declude was scanning! So,
Declude would have to have logic for keeping track of when the primary was
up and down. Becoming a non-trivial task when you add that nuance.

The problem with this is if your primary does go down (rebooting for a patch for example), these points will be added to *all* email until your primary is back up.
I posted just a few days ago asking if it was possible for Declude to check that primary was functional. If so, there could be a test that would add points for any mail sent to the secondary when the primary is functional. I realize that this would require a new version of Declude, but I think it could be really worthwhile. Nobody responded to my last post, so I wasn't sure if there is some reason why this wouldn't work or would be too difficult.
