We have similar tests set up, less the <>{}[]
We set a weight of 1 for each mark; expect o have many emails that will
fail one or two instances of this test - no problem; it's the latest
craze with subjects like
m'ake my d#ay b:etter by b+locking my$ e*mail
That get caught with this, as they should...

Checked your FPs lately?
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS -
I get countless legit e-mails with hyphens in the Subject.
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS [
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS ]
Mailing list e-mails very often use brackets in the Subject, so you're
giving more weight to an area that's already dangerous.
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS :
'Re:' gets a demerit?
> SUBJECT 4 CONTAINS ;
A perfectly legitimate punctuation mark.
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS "
We can't use quotation marks anymore?
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS ,
NO COMMAS???
> SUBJECT 2 CONTAINS ?
NO QUESTION MARKS???
I place approximately zero stock in tests this general. YMMV, I
suppose. Or perhaps you're not mentioning the aggregate threshold
you're going for before actual points are assigned.
