You didn't really tell us HOW you use spamassasin. Just as with a single site-wide bayes, there are possible problems adjusting site-wide rules, depending on what some users consider spam, or non-spam. I get lots of messages that fail one or more of the tests you mentioned, but that I still want for one reason or another. I'd be very annoyed if someone arbitrarily blocked them "for me". So yes it might work fine, but you might also get some complaints if "semi-spammy" messages get tossed. What are you doing with flagged messages anyhow? If you're just tagging them, probably no big deal. I wouldn't set any one rule to make the final call in any case, unless this is a personal setup. Are your users set up with personal configurations? Are you using site-wide bayes? Are you enforcing a corporate policy of some sort? Do you want "easy" or "accurate"? - Bob
