I thought botnet was unstable.. is it working ok now?
It's not (in my experience) unstable. It's excellent. But the default
score of 5 is way too high. It gets a lot of false positives, especially
(again, in my experience) from small mail-order operations who don't
understand dns (Exchange users, I rather uncharitably assume). I score
botnet at 2 and I'm very happy with it.
I reckon better network tests are the future of spam filtering, now that
spammers are sending blocks of text from Harry Potter books along with
undetectable URLs containing spaces etc.
