Hello,

I just recently moved our mail setup to new hardware and I've been
paying close attention to what gets marked as spam and what
doesn't.

Looking at my spam folder, I have received roughly 550 spam emails
to my email account since last tuesday (15th). Out of those 550,
*345* have been downscored by RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED. Annoyingly, a
significant number of those spam mails have dropped just below the
spam threshold because of it. 

 X-Spam-Status: No, score=6.105 required=6.31
        tests=[CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADER=3.2, DOS_HIGHBIT_HDRS_BODY=1,
        HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, MIME_QP_LONG_LINE=0.001, PYZOR_CHECK=1.985,
        RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET=1.246, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED=-2.3,

 X-Spam-Status: No, score=6.076 required=6.31
        tests=[FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK=2.785, FROM_MISSP_MSFT=1, 
MISSING_HEADERS=1.207,
        MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER=0.001,
        MSOE_MID_WRONG_CASE=3.373, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED=-2.3,
        T_FROM_MISSPACED=0.01] autolearn=no

I'm thinking of not bothering with DNSWL tests anymore unless
someone convinces me this is a temporary hiccup. What are your
experiences?

ps. if someone wants to see full mail examples, I have plenty. :)
