Hi Matt:

I agree but in case of mailing lists .. It seems like one way to help with
the mailing lists that keep changing their providers is to whitelist them by
their address in the Header.

Since Declude looks at the sender email and does not see the FROM address
the best way to handle some mailing lists is by giving negative weight for
the email found in header.

In those cases we have given enough negative weight to them to make sure
they come through regardless of the spam databases they are in.

Regards,
Kami

I believe the idea here is to place the negative weight filters before the
positive weight ones.  Unless you want to totally whitelist something based
on a filter (as opposed to pseudo-whitelisting it by crediting just some
points), it makes sense that you wouldn't have a minimum weight.  I guess
I'm not really very trusting of anything not whitelisted on my system.

I start my order with pseudo-whitelists, and then pseudo-blacklists, then
the highest scoring filters that don't make much use of the body down to the
lowest scoring filters that do heavy body searches.  When I have ANTI files,
I list those before the main tests.  The logic is a little sloppy in the
middle, but it seems to be the right idea.

Naturally, it would also make sense to have absolutely everything else run
before the custom filters.  I suspect the IPNOTINMX thing is a bug instead
of something by design.

Matt
