Hi,

I wasn't suggesting that you used MailScanner, I was merely pointing out that these lists are very specifically created and used for a feature of MailScanner that has nothing to do with SPAM detection, ie the Phising Detection feature.

Because of that you will need to know what the inclusion crieria for each list is, and what the siginificance of inclusion is. In order to find that out you are best to ask the person who created them, ie the author of MailScanner.

Hi Anthony,

I will ask people from MailScanner also but for my email system is not
possible to use MailScanner directly so I'm using spamd. My question is
about lowering chances for false positives by having safe list from
MailScanner. But since I just started to use SpamAssassing I'm asking is it
wise and needed.

Regards,
Giga

Hi,

Those files are effectively, white and black lists for the Phising detection feature of MailScanner. I have never heard of anyone using them to add scores to spam.

Your best best, might be to ask on the MailScanner mailing list, where the author regularly contributes. He would be able to give you a clearer idea about this.
