JADP - the rfc-ignorant rules lost us some important email today. The customer was throwing away all mail tagged as SPAM after many months of no false positives. I've turned those rules off on my site, and continue as always to encourage my users to check their tagged mail before tossing it.

IMHO if a rule is getting legit email tagged as SPAM it should be toned down. Obeying the RFC's is a good thing, but I am trying to tune our spam filter to filter spam, not to be a netcop. Our particular contact seems to have gotten onto rfc-ignorant's list because it is rejecting mail from <>, nothing to do with sending spam, and it's a legitimate site, neither a spammer nor an ISP (nor in a computer related field, nor English speaking...)
