I would like to establish a good baseline setting for Imail AntiSpam and
feel I am using solid DNS Black Lists. Is there a "best practices" document
for Imail AntiSpam? What settings are you  using that feel right? What are
the DNS Black List(s) you use? Which do you have flagged as "trusted".

In addition to these questions, I am interested in learning what others are
using for Spam filter Action settings. In our environment, a large percent
of good email is getting the subject line prefixed with spam abbreviations.
Users are having to perform subject line clean-up before replying or just
letting the subject line stay dirty with the response.

We currently used the following settings:

Statistical Filter
  Action:              Insert X-Header
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-Statistical]

Phrase Filter
  Action:              Insert X-Header
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-Phrase]

HTML Features Filter
  Action:              Insert X-Header
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-HTML]

URL Domain Black List
  Action:              Insert X-Header
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-URLDBL]

Broken MIME Headers
  Action:              Insert X-Header
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-Broken-MIME-Hdr]

SPF Filter (Fail/Softfail/Error)
  Action:              Insert X-Header
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-SPF-Fail]
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-SPF-Softfail]
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-SPF-Error]
  * all others Action: None

Connection Checks
  Settings:             all checked
  Delete Message after 3 matches
  Prefix Subject with: [SPAM-DNSBL]

DNS Black Lists
  list.dsbl.org
  rfc-ignorant.org
  sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org  * trusted

I would appreciate your feedback.
