With this being said, no spam test is perfect. Therefore, I don't recomend
a single test, regardless how effective it is, being equal to your
hold/delete weight.
I love the spamcop test, however, it is set to 60% of my hold weight,
requiring another test or two to fail before the email is held.
Removing spamcop from your testing would be a mistake IMHO.

Richard,
Last I checked, SpamCop was tagging about 50% of all of my spam, and while
it certainly isn't perfect, it doesn't tag IP's that are perfectly clean.
It is somewhat doubtful that one could remove SpamCop and not see more
spam leakage. As a Declude user, I think that you might want to consider
changing the weight that you apply to SpamCop instead, and make sure that
you aren't automatically taking action on just that single hit.
Personally I have few problems with SpamCop, and when they occur, they are
almost always with bulk E-mail. Since I weight it low enough and it takes
multiple false positives to result in blocking a legitimate personal
E-mail on my system, hits from SpamCop on places like Gmail, AOL, etc. go
almost completely unnoticed. The bulk E-mail is a different story though
because many places have false positive issues with such traffic and
varying definitions of spam, but people rarely complain about missing
something like an Overstock.com ad if they do get blocked.

gmail has many outbound servers - chances are one of the messages went
via a server listed in spamcop. Spamcop these days has been proving to
be less and less reliable - I can't tell you how often AOL, Earthlink,
Gmail, Attbi, and other big ISP's get listed...

I just sent myself 4 messages all the same from my gmail to my
ethixs.com account and 3 came thru and one got caught in the filter
because of spamcop? 3 of the messages had a weight of 0 and the one
that was caught had a weight of 33....does this make any sense...all
the messages were the same except I put test 1, test 2, test 3 and test
4 in the subject.. Richard Farris
