This looks worrying. I have it at 2.2 pts, and not caused any false positives, 
but still, odd. Or is it? I know it is a SPAM indicator but a bulk indicator.

But it is triggered for example by some mailing list posts which are genuine 
and not bulk.

and, fyi, if you have the commercial version of dcc, and not using mark's new DCC.pm from the 3.0 alpha, the commercial version might trigger a 'hit' if the reputation of the sending ip is > 20%

(as in, 20% bulk rate)

and, yes, you are ALWAYS told to whitelist your legit marketing lists for dcc. either by ip, or something that can't be forged.

as an example, this mailing list scores 3%

http://www.rhyolite.com/cgi-bin/reps.cgi?tgt=140.211.11.3

MOSTLY BECAUSE THE SA ADMINS READING THIS LIST, either whitelisted the list or don't use DCC.

(which still shows that 3% of you are still reporting this list as 'bulk'. )
