Has anyone else seen this - I just looked at a spam and saw:
X-Habeas-SWE-1: winter into spring
..etc..
This is Habeas's idea to allow "legitimate" bulk e-mail through. Basically:
- Habeas copyrights a Haiku. - Habeas licenses the Haiku to "legitimate" e-mail senders. - Habeas convinces anti-spam vendors to permit mail with the Haiku in it to pass. In SpamAssassin, this is the HABEAS_SWE rule, with a default score of -8.0 - If spammers abuse the Habeas mark, Habeas sues for copyright violation.
Unfortunately, in my experience, spammers _do_ abuse the Habeas mark, so I've nuked the HABEAS_SWE score down to zero. Sorry, Habeas; nice idea, but criminals who think nothing of taking over armies of computers to send spam are unlikely to be perturbed by copyright violation.
