That is why I don't score botnet as high as the default. I want the actual

That way if I get a botnet hit at say 2.0, either a bayes_99 or a hit on a
digest will send it way over. But if it hits only botnet, and nothing else, it
can pass.

Technically, with a score of 5, the mail still passes. It just gets marked as spam. (I hope no one actually rejects/deletes/bounces spam at an SA score of 5 or even 6 or 7 ... that would seem to me to be a bit irresponsible) The logic is "flag it for review/quarantine/segregation if Botnet thinks it came from a zombie".


I would sugjest that the botnet meta rule would have its name
extended slightly, so a grep for its name doesn't hit all the botnet rules
without having to egrep with a regex.

Hm.  What's wrong with having to egrep?
