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.
