------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-09-26 17:31 -------
I like your idea concerning "harder to defeat" rules.  I'd also suggest a 
classification of "more likely to be correct", which would include 
- obfuscation rules with ultra high confidence ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
- spam headers (X_MESSAGE_INFO)
- known forgeries (FAKE_OUTBLAZE_RCVD)
- broken ratware (subject =~ /%RAND/)

Perhaps such rules can be flagged via tflags or similar mechanism, such that 
the automatic scoring mechanism will apply preferential treatment to them, 
provided that the scoring mass-checks hit no ham at all (or no spam if a 
negative scoring rule). 

Thus, X_MESSAGE_INFO will be given a higher score than a non-preferential rule 
with the same hits, because we're more confident in X_MESSAGE_INFO's accuracy. 
And during the perceptron's scoring adjustments, these rules' scores will be 
adjusted less than others (because we're more confident they will not cause 
false positives).
