Ours score in three levels: not spam, Spammish and Definitely Spam.
DefinitelySpam (scoring, iirc, > 15, where we've set a score of 4+
means Spam) goes right into the bit bucket. No way should a
legitimate e-mail look like that.
Spammish, 4-15, gets sent through to the client. We flag the
Subject line with ***SPAM*** to make it easy to sort out, and set
the X-Spam-Status=Yes
I don't know your ISP or your system, but I do know that in my
business, I talk with people (who have posted their resume on
Monster.com, for instance) on the phone, then send them information
if they're interested. The Subject reads "Business Information from
Harry Corsover" and the body is short, giving them my business web
site and confirming the time we've arranged for a follow-up phone
call. I don't use my email signature in those emails.
Yet, fairly often, these wind up filtered out or labeled as spam, and
my prospect or potential customer never sees the email. This, to me,
is unacceptable, since by no reasonable definition is my email spam.
And this costs me time and money.
I've also seen quite normal-looking emails replying to a post on a
professional email list with "SPAM" inserted into the subject line.
Sometimes these show up with list email, and sometimes Mail puts them
in my junk folder.
How do you know your system produces no false positives?
Regards,
Harry Corsover
