Scott, I have installed the latest files... I try and keep up with them. I think the only changes I make are on the Weight 10 and 20 and I change the subject. I look at the headers on a bunch of the spam messages that come thru and most fail SORBS-DUHL, but then I see that many legit messages do as well. I see many fail SPAMCOP that get thru, but again I don't know how many legit message fail that test. I can't spend hours looking at message headers.
I have to admit that I've never taken the time to look at this very much. I had hoped that someone had come up with a good config that I could use without making learning about all these spam databases part of my life. My goal is to give my mail users the ability to filter out most spam based on the subject line of the message. The default config files do nothing toward that goal and I have to make changes. If I change all the warn's, to subject changes then it seems that most every message would be marked as spam. There has to be a good medium in there, but I sure don't want to make it my lifes work to find it. Thanks for your suggestions, Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
