Actually I have been lurking mostly for several years. I jump in from time
to time.
Most of the junkmail records are set to either warn or dump the suspected
spam into a spam folder
MAILBOX SPAM
The users have been instructed to visit their spam mail box from time to
time to verify that no good mail is there and clear it out. Of course some
don't bother.
I have not set any of the blacklists on weighted tests.
Nothing is deleted except in my own account where I feel confident anything
that is tagged by certain tests is indeed spam. Like I said all 251
messages held in my spam box were indeed spam.
We don't just give the users a heading telling them it is suspected
spam. They don't even want to see the stuff. Personally, I don't
either. This does not seem to be a problem for them so far. Once in a
while something like this IP address causes some concern. But most users
are in systems with firewalls with trusted IP addresses and have not been
subjected to this sort of thing.
Some of the tests are being totally ignored. For example I finally stopped
using SORBS-SPAM and SORBS-DUHL because they became so unreliable tagging
just about everything that came along.
But, we updated the Declude to 2.61 (or whatever version) recently and I
have not gone in to read the latest documentation and apply the new
features. A problem with time. Don't run for a political office, it is
all consuming.

Ok Orin, so you're using the SUBJECT action with CBL?
I'm sorry to belabour it if you already know this, but I haven't seen
many postings from you here... The prevailing wisdom in this birds of a
feather mailing list is to use actions with weights and weightranges
instead of individual tests.
In this way, a single false positive doesn't hurt as much, and you won't
have to pre-determine which specific tests are trustworthy; instead, you
work out which ranges merit various actions.
Do you HOLD or DELETE messages at all, or do you mark up the subject
lines for your clients and let them bear the responsibility of deleting
their spam? I'm not for or against either method, I'm just curious
where you have drawn your lines.
