The result (sender using AOL 9.0 client, SA PT> 2.63) is a penalty of 6.39 points right off the bat. Isn't that a PT> bit extreme? "Extreme" depends on the receiving system. Apparently yes, on your system, and would be on mine, except here we use: required_hits 9 score ADDR_NUMS_AT_BIGSITE 0.194 # 305s/156h of 112471 corpus (92494s/19977h) 03/16/04 score FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS 0.10 # Reduced 6/23,03, 11/21/03, 2/1/04. 4793s/1122h of 81370 corpus score FROM_WEBMAIL_END_NUMS6 0.167 # 2.61 defaults halved 1/6/04 due to FP, reduced again 2/21/04 - 294s/175h of 100793 corpus (82099s/18694h) 02/21/04 Looking ahead to SA version 3, I see that the new distribution scores will be score ADDR_NUMS_AT_BIGSITE 0.072 0.748 0.112 0.081 score FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS 0.177 0.516 0.517 0.000 score FROM_WEBMAIL_END_NUMS6 0.178 0.046 0.389 0.000 so yes, the problem goes away with the next release, where the maximum score for these three rules will be 1.3 Bob Menschel
