Hi everyone, Tell me if this is a dumb idea: Would it be possible to have an upper and lower threshold on PB scoring to filter the terribly obvious spam from the not so obvious spam?
In single message mode, one can use the Penalty Boxes scoring system on a single message to mark it spam/ham. I feel it is much more powerful and reliable than dropping a message because of a faulty RBL hit or misconfigured rDNS/SPF record. The double threshold might work like so: If your normal PB threshold is 50, then let's say you might set the lower threshold to be 40 and the upper would be 65. Messages scoring below 40 would obviously be passed on to the user with no problem Messages scoring between 40-65 would be passed to the user, but with the [SPAM] and/or Reason tags Messages scoring over 65 would be blocked with no further notice to the user It would work like an extended version of the bayesian confidence setting, but for all tests. It would drop the most glaringly obvious spam (multiple rbl hits, forged helo, forged local sender, etc), but leave the maybe/maybe not spam (single rbl hit, single bombre hit, low bayesian score, etc) for the user to filter on their own via server side (exim) filters or client-side (outlook) filters. Does such functionality already exist in ASSP? One problem I already can think of is different users believing different things are spam/ham and wanting different thresholds. I think that a lot of the shortcomings in ASSP that become obvious in multi-user/multi-domain setups could be overcome by supporting per-user/per-domain configs, but that is a discussion for another thread.
