For our corporate servers, we have turned this off (I personally get to much spam sent to one of my unpublished email addresses from 'habeas' certified senders). For our hosted and email appliance clients, we leave the option 'off' for just the same reason. Habeas is ONLY use on marketing emails. And, obviously not on just 'opt-in' emails. Also, obviously from their web site, their first suggestion is 'listwashing', rather then 'clientwashing' which is what they should do. It happens when 100% of your customers are 'bulk/email marketing' companies. When they change, we will modify it. Set score to 0 in local.cf score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI 0 score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI 0 score HABEAS_CHECKED 0 At the very least, just account for a high bayes or razor score. score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI -1.0 score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI -0.5 score HABEAS_CHECKED 0 -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBsd SpamAssassin Ports maintainer Charter member, ICSA labs anti-spam consortium _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(tm).
