A spot for filter downloads is an excellent idea. Kami has also posted his filters or an address to them in the mailing list. The bulk of my filters are based from the MailPure filters or Kami's. The Mailpure beta filters (don't use the old ones unless you have to) are very good filters to learn from.

Run them stock until you know what to change, then change only one thing at a time. That way you can tell what suddenly stopped all your legitimate mail from getting through. :) I sure don't run them stock, partly because I use a different weight level so I can get more granular. We add a SPAM subject at 10, move to a SPAM mailbox at 20, hold at 40 and delete at 60, but it's because that's the way our filters are tuned. And it's not perfect, we have to tweak the filters to keep the latest round of SPAM at bay. We also use various filter tests we've designed or "borrowed" from others. Most of those are developed based on messages in this list, or due to new filters which are added. That said, I don't think there could ever be a "one size fits all" config. We're a municipal government and have different email patterns than an ISP would for example. We have virtually no legitimate mail coming from China or Korea, so we weight mail passing through those countries heavily. A company with clients in Asia would lose business if they ran our filters. The botoom line is you'll need to develop your own filters, but there are quite a few examples that are good for starting posted in this list. > Is there anywhere to download people's various config's (ie. a page > where they are posted and shared) or could someone either post what > they think is key or make specific recommendations as to what to > tweak? I'd love a place to post filters and configs, I'm not sure an email list is the best place, but now that Declude has a huge amount of financial backing (vbg) perhaps a download site for customer-written filters or a forum where they could be shared could be made available. Several users have posted their filters in various locations, most notably the MailPure set (Mailpure.com, listed on the Declude web site under Free Web Tools...). Other than that, check the mail list archives for examples when you're considering a new filter.
