And they are likely correct too: in reviewing SpamD (spamassassin) logs the softfail is almost always 100% spam. The key is to not reject on this criteria alone but use it in combo with other signs and to use it as part of the SpamAssassin (etc) scoring criteria to avoid catching that rare case where a softfail sender is legit. -- Herb Martin -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
