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?

This is not >the same Declude operation to me as in years past! 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. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
