We wrote a script that allows users to copy or appends rules we created that are based on what declude sticks in the headers. We tested a set of rules while using deculde, made sure we were only catching spam. We have just the regular version of declude.
Now a user only has to go to the filter screen we modified. There are two radio button choices. Move spam to a spambox folder or move spam to null. Each user can still also add or change whatever rules they want, but they now can see some examples of what works. Almost all users seems very happy with our defaults. The users have been very happy and we now offer this on signup and 95% of new signups choose to filter to null. It has significantly cut down on the amount of spam sitting on our server's drives and not interfered with our pop3 users.
