Hope this helps. I'll send you my configs if you are interested.

We're fairly new at using JunkMail and we want to refine the process beyond the basic tests (typically weight10 or weight20). What strategy or steps would you recommend next?
I'd recommend using a using the default global.cfg file for starters. A link appears at http://www.declude.com/junkmail/manual.htm
The default file (I believe) has the action set to WARN. Now see what happens. Depending on what version of JM you have, you
may be able to setup per user .junkmail files. If so, pick out a spammed account that you are going to pay attention to and setup a
per user .junkmail file. Use that file to take appropriate. That way, your users aren't effected by something you fat finger. I've setup
my test.junkmail file with 2 actions per test, MAILBOX, and ATTACH.
Two obvious ideas are Filtering and the ip4r tests. For filtering, I'm concerned about the system overhead and the effectiveness. I've heard that filtering on message headers is not effective and that filtering on message bodies is hard on the system. For ip4r, I've heard so many horror stories about over-zealous spam databases that I'm not sure which spam databases are worth working with.
The IP4r tests that Scott has in the default global.cfg file seem pretty reliable. Look at http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm
for some details on the particular databases.
It would be really cool if someone at Declude wrote an addendum to the manual that talks about how to work with Declude JunkMail, rather than just how to use it.
Any guidelines would be much appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays.
