Scott, you have far less ham on weekends. Hypothetically, a company like yours might use the day of week test to add a little weight on the weekend, on the basis that your false positives from doing so will be fewer.
I have a similar volume pattern. And to answer Mark's initial question, another idea for a way to use DOW is to combine it with the COPYFILE action to, say, archive every message that comes in on Thursday. And no, I don't use the DOW test.
