Also I think bayes it´s useless... the same email is considered spam and a second later is considered ham.

Bayes is only as good as it's training.. if you've got wild flip-flops like that, perhaps you need to look at what's going on in your autolearning and adjust the thresholds.


I for one find the default ham learning threshold of SA dangerous.

I've got my bayes well trained, and well controlled. I don't have much problem with it flip-flopping.

Admittedly your message got a bayes score of 0.4862 (BAYES_44) on my system. But that's a matter of training, not flip-flopping..

 1.2 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG  HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag


The "LOCAL_POPCORN2" is a rule based on popcorn.cf, just collapsed down.

describe LOCAL_POPCORN2  1-5 letters - hidden end tag - 1-7 letters

score    LOCAL_POPCORN2  1.5

Although technically the part of the email it fired off on is Excite UK's self advertising added to the end of the message.
