------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-01-08 03:38 ------- -1 the negative bonuses are excessive and inconsistent with our current levels As I understand it, our current levels are: -16 for closed-loop opt-in -8 for opt-in Implied in those scores for Habeas and Bonded Sender, are the extensive application and verification process needed to get into these programs. If current Habeas listings don't require any verification, then there's already a discreprancy in the current scores. If I read this patch correctly, Habeas listings would now often yield: -8.2 for opt-in with no checking -12 for opt-in with current level of checking -16 for double opt-in with current level of checking Most of all, -16 is excessive, even for confirmed opt-in. The highest scoring ham in our entire corpus is only a 12. A negative bonus of -8 should be enough for anything, maybe -10. More than -8 or -10 is just making it just way too juicy to compromise a machine. In addition, I don't get why the other two scores are increasing in magnitude in this patch. If there's no accredidation of the current batch of senders, then the current scores are way too low. Finally, we're going to start getting crazy with bonuses, maybe we should add ones for independent third-party verification, donation of profits to non-profits, etc. My point: I don't think we want SpamAssassin to be front- line for the marketing departments of these programs. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
