that is simply not true and defeats the purpose


Yeah - but it's clear from other posting on this list that you'd argue black is in fact actually white.


because i can't find any sense in give bulk mail just because it is bulk
mail - indepdendent of subscribed, double-optin and what not - a penalty


Just because *you* can't find any sense in it; others might be able to.

For example:

meta __FSL_ANY_BULK ((DCC_CHECK || RAZOR2_CHECK || PYZOR_CHECK) && !FSL_EMPTY_BODY)

meta     FSL_FREEMAIL_BULK      (__FSL_ANY_BULK && FREEMAIL_FROM)
score    FSL_FREEMAIL_BULK      3.0
describe FSL_FREEMAIL_BULK Mail from Freemail account that matches bulk signature
#   1.008   1.0844   0.0000    1.000   0.75    0.00  + FSL_FREEMAIL_BULK

However - I'll readily agree with you that DCC_CHECK adding score to all bulk mail isn't that useful, however that is what the mass-checker has decided works best with the corpus of mail available.

Steve.
