i disagree. Rather then setting the score lower, you should set specific test higher that do match the spam specific to your network. Most of the tests are scored very low by default, becouse the default config has to be sane for a large amount of users. > I suspect ISPs have their filter settings at 3 or less. some ISPs use spamfilters that identify messages as 100000% spam if they contain the word "fuck". that doesn't mean it's smart. -- best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Arvid Ephraim Picciani
