[Declude.JunkMail] Declude Console question

2002-08-12 Thread Stic.Net 

I've been curious about how messages show up in the Declude Console as they stream 
through.
In the top third of the console window messages are labeled as I, O, IS, OS, IV, or OV 
(I assume these standing for incoming/outgoing, SPAM, and Virus).  
Here's my question:
If a message shows up as IS or OS does this mean it has failed *any* SPAM test, or has 
it failed enough tests to be deleted (or held or bounced)?  I work for a medium-sized 
ISP and about 75-80% of the 200,000 messages going through every day are showing up as 
IS or OS.  I've set up fairly aggressive filtering and all mail that fails the 
WEIGHT10 test gets deleted.  I'm considering easing the tests if indeed 75-80% of our 
users' mail is getting deleted.  However, if this only means that 75-80% of the mail 
is failing one of the tests (but not necessarily getting deleted) then I think I'll 
keep the test settings the same.

That is correct.

It means that it has failed any spam test.  So even if the E-mail just 
fails the SPAMHEADERS test, for example, it would show up with an S in 
the Declude Console.
