RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 100 Point scale / DNS

[Markus Gufler]

If you're happy with the weight settings of your current weighting system (hold on 20 ?) you can simply change to a hold-on-100 system by multipling all wheigts in your cfg file by factor 5 and change your WEIGHT20 test to WEIGHT100 Then save the cfg file and it's done.   Beside more granularity it's easier now to calcualte test weights in conjunction with statistical research. HOLD-weight = 100% = 100 pts   My system is holding anything above 100 points. The starting theory is that a message should fail at least 4 tests before it can be hold. So one single test shouldn't have more the 33 points. Only very reliable tests should have configured more then 33 points. Tests that are known to have more "false positves" but beside this good results in spam detection should be reduced down to something between 1 and 15 points.   Markus   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kornitz, David Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 2:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] 100 Point scale / DNS First Question:   I know this issue has been discussed in the past, but I would like to make sure I understand the discussions:   1.                   We are contemplating revising the scoring to a 100 point scale 2.                   I assume that when the conversion is made that initially you select the value for 100 point and then proportionally adjust the scores up.   Questions:  What weight did you use for the 100 points? Was it the delete weight? Or the hold weight?  or something in between the values?       Second Question:               I am receiving a lot of DNS timeout values, yet when I go the run the IP address through NSLookup, it returns the address immediately.  The primary address on the server is a Windows 2003 DNS server, secondary addresses are linux DNS servers.   What DNS servers is Declude using when doing a DNS lookup?  As I recall, there was a way to specify these values in the global.cfg but I was not able to locate any information on this.   Anyone have any recommendations or insight into the problem?   Thanks for you help in advance,   David
