I am ready to run their score up positive 1 or so. On one hand Their
logic is faulty, I believe - unless they are spammers. I know very
few people who are able to manipulate headers in such a manner as
to insert the Habeas headers. Most of my correspondents use "stock"
mailers like Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc. None of these,
to my knowledge, can add the Habeas X headers. On another hand I
note that spammers for the most part do forge headers. for them
adding the Habeas mantra is duck soup. On the gripping hand this
means that ISP's mail servers must add that header for most users
which is something they are simply not going to do.
Hence, it is an indicator of spam not of ham.
