Hiya,

much as I like MailMate, I find its support for spam detection sub-par. I understand that there is a preference for SpamSieve but many mail servers already have spam filters like Spam Assassin, so why not make more us of them? Even Apple Mail does a good job with them. As a result, I'm currently running Apple Mail on accounts where I'm seeing a lot of spam and let it the filtering. I checked the rules that are used and they don't look bad:

* sender in contacts
* sender in exisiting recipients
* to contains full name
* trust spam headers

Has anyone figured out conditions for rules like this? I've got headers like this:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.8 required=5.0 tests=HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST,
        HTML_MESSAGE,NORDNS_LOW_CONTRAST,RDNS_NONE,SUBJ_ALL_CAPS,
        URIBL_ABUSE_SURBL,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=no autolearn_force=no
        version=3.4.2

Where I'd like to be able to set the threshold a bit lower but I can't think of an easy way of doing this at the moment with the score not being available as a separate header.

What are you all doing?

Charlie
