So you only provide spam services for your own users? Or do you pay?

Through autolearn?

It is otherwise extremely time-intensive.

Adjusting many of the default rules disrupts the score balance created
by masschecks, no?

I want to avoid having to juggle scores around, in addition to already
worrying about writing rules that ultimately have the same effect as
existing metas.

Are you worried about overlap between the checksum systems?

I've enabled DCC again today, and remembered what I don't like about
it. Do you have DCC_CHECK at its default 1.1 score? That's quite high
for something described as "bulk mail" when bulk mail is already
scored very close to 5.0.

How much more effective do you find DCC than PYZOR? That's already
scored at 1.4.

That's a good combination.

Is it usable like this?

The default scores for these rules are all almost 0 when bayes and
network tests are enabled. I've adjusted the L[2-5] rules from 0.2 to
1.2. Took a quick look at a handful of L5 mail and anything higher
would be problematic.

Thanks, as always.
