I like the idea of hoax rules, and I use a couple myself. I see that the YM_M_JDBGHOAX posted on the exit0.us Wiki so far is scored at 10, high enough to cause almost all mails that matched to be flagged as spam/hoax. The danger is, in the past several years I've gotten a half dozen or so emails that match this rule; half were passing on the hoax, and half were asking about or discussing the hoax. How would you differentiate between the hoax itself, a discussion warning people of the hoax, and an honest query about the email who is both afraid to follow the hoax's instructiosn and afraid not to? Miss that email, and the querant might fall into the hoax. I haven't been able to figure out how to block the one without blocking the other two. Bob Menschel
