I fail on a weight of 10, only score the last hop, and use the following (see notes below, config updated yesterday for new weights and tests):

I dropped ABHL-EXEMPT, a whitelist, because it tended to have ISP mail servers in it, and I definitely get a noticeable amount of spam from ISP mail servers and don't need to be giving them credit unless there is a problem. BONDEDSENDER was dropped to 1/10th of my original weight after I learned that they don't really have the best standards for listing companies, for instance, a mailing list/group site doesn't have to do confirmed memberships which has been a fairly common issue with abuse, and spam houses that lead a double life can still have certain IP's included as long as those IP's don't spam. In dropping them from 50 to 5, I haven't seen any FP's result, and I'm looking to remove them out of my configuration as the next change because I don't want to support something that is membership based in this sense (members have to pay for inclusion and post a small bond). I highly doubt they let in a measurable amount of spam, but I got very concerned when I saw Topica listed in both Spamhaus and Bonded Sender, and figured out that Spamhaus was correct because Topica leads a double life as a spam house, tpca.net for instance:

http://www.senderbase.org/search?searchString=66.180.244.0%2F25

FIVETEN-SPAM, FIVETEN-BULK and SORBS-SPAM all have very common issues with false positives on ad related content and even some mail servers. I'm monitoring closely for an opportunity to drop these test scores further or even altogether. Some of these have also cheated by adding in all of China to their blacklists. Essentially, the higher the score, the more reliable the test is. MAILPOLICE and SPAMCOP are at 80% of my hold weight, and they are seen as unreliable, however they score a ton of traffic and don't tend to FP on stuff that is listed in other places. I would be more comfortable dropping them another point, but am still studying that move.

Note that this is only one piece of the puzzle as I get a lot of traction out of both Declude's built in tests as well as custom filters.

I see that the Global config file on Decludes website has an updated list of IP4 tests and that the IP4 website also has a long list of IP4 tests.

My question... what are some of your IP4 tests that you use that you find to be very effective?

Thanks,
Greg
