Hi Scott:

It is fine- when this happened I was out of the office and since we use a
number of combo filters this one filter misbehaving triggered a lot of other
tests which then had a cascade effect.

Of course when I found out we had 100 messages tagged as spam which are were
sent back to the addresses and now the test is commented.. But with
combination filters it is no longer a single incident as it can have a
cascading effect.

Any news on the 2.0b update?

Regards,
Kami

FWIW, it was handled very similarly to how I would have handled it.

I consider the SPAMHEADERS test to be a very minor test, as it did not catch
a large amount of spam (about 8% when we last tested), and had a significant
amount of false positives.  As a result, we only counted SPAMHEADERS towards
15% of the default spam detection weight.  The test can easily be commented
out to prevent it from running.

Yes, in the past, I could have come out with an interim version more
quickly.  However, it should also be noted that there was always a lot of
debate about the interims; many people did not like them.  And even so, I
would have only come out with an interim for the latest version (in this
case, a beta), which would not have provided any options for customers who
can only run release versions.
