2006-02-21 Thread Philip Prindeville
Hi. I was wondering what a reasonable increase in the score for SPF_FAIL would be, if I want to fail a host connection coming in for a domain that it isn't supposed to correspond to... I.e. if we get a connection from a host that isn't in the "mx:" field of the SPF connection... And we want to r

I received this from a fellow on another list. It took some puzzling until I figured out what went wrong. He has yet to get back to me with whether or not there was a score on the message or not. But I think SA should guard itself if this leads to a message escaping getting marked. ===8<--- Joann

Has anyone considered using agrep to detect deliberate misspellings of common keywords, like st0cks, preskriptions, etc? Agrep allows one to assign arbitrary weights to various transcriptions, insertions (spaces, dashes, underscores, etc) and deletions... Seems that some neat stuff could be done.
