Just because something tests positive as spam, that doesn't mean it is spam. Spam filters are only heuristic. It's better to challenge a suspect message than just drop it (or bounce it, in which case you might as well challenge it instead).

In other words, by your own logic, either you're a spammer, or spam filters don't work reliably. Would you rather than this site deleted your mail silently? -- nick rothwell -- composition, systems, performance -- http://www.cassiel.com _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
