I've had it set to place "SPAM" in the subject line but have left the default weight of 8. However, I don't have an action on WEIGHT10. My action was on WEIGHT15. Now I recognize the obvious, that I could have left the action on WEIGHT10 and changed the weight of BADHEADERS. That would be more effective as it would need a lesser combination of the other tests. However, the day I was "fixing" it I had brain freeze and that didn't occur to me. Now that it has, I think I'll change that.

If we held on or deleted on this test we would nor receive our notifications about our backup or other alert notifications. the same goes for the SPAMHEADERS test. We see too many false positives from these tests so if you are going to use the in DECLUDE use a low weight or no weight.
