Hi Scott,
Can you tell us what things the test checks for? That might help us fine
tune our configurations based on the traffic we see.
If you need to keep it proprietary to protect the algorithm, I understand,
but it certainly would be useful.
Thanks,
Darin.

The NOLEGITCONTENT test looks for a number of things that are common to
legitimate E-mail but rarely found in spam. For example, until a year or
two ago, about 99% of all E-mail with "Re:" in the subject was legitimate
mail. Today, that wouldn't work well in the NOLEGITCONTENT test, but in
the past it might have been used.
Given the way that the test works, it helps legitimate E-mail get through
rather than penalizing spam. If a legitimate E-mail fails the test, it
doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the E-mail.
