On the subject of Habeas, here's an example of Topica abusing Habeas :)

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=tpca.net+group:*abuse*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=20030313204242.A16152AA1D%40earl-grey.cloud9.net&rnum=4

Note that this block was identified by Topica as being used exclusively for Yahoo! News mailings, however it appears to only be spam now.  They encourage people to whitelist certain parts of their IP address space, only to turn around and start spamming from them.  Another nice evidence file:

http://www.dolphinwave.org/spam/topica.com.txt

They do this game to avoid blocking.  They also actively listwash instead of removing list owners that spam from the primary Topica servers.

I received 13 of these today in my personal e-mail.  I changed Habeas
from whitelist to weight -5 and it seems to have fixed the problem.
Don't know yet if non spam is getting blocked but I doubt it. 

Here is a log entry after change (weight was 36 even with the -5):

HI,

I'm getting spam, and it is being whitelisted because of 
HABEAS...  Here are the headers.

These emails are definately spam.  Looks like HABEAS has been 
compromised?

Comments Please.

thanks, Andy
