Paul, those last 3 tests are our in-house tests that may or may not be
suitable for anyone else.

The first of the three is an IPFILE test that contains our banned IPs.  We
put them here instead of IMail because we like the logging of the
mail-handling decisions to all be in Declude's log.

The second is a text FILTER test (only availabe with Declude JunkMail Pro)
that has lots of snippets of spammish body text, including HTML content tips
posted here (notably Kami, Bill and Matthew) and our own list of keywords to
hint towards a body weight for spam that had made it through to mailboxes
(e.g. last Christmas' little cars campaigns, and current mortgage and loan
come-ons).  The test is called 'hint' because every filter line is a low
weight.

The third is another text FILTER test, and contains URI specific hints as
well as blacklisted domains (high weights) we see in URLs.  I keep meaning
to break this file in to two tests; the URI hints and the blacklisted
domains.

The COMMENTS test scored so high because after running for a month with the
fixed weight option, and Scott's assurance that it only scores bogus
comments and that I'd seen zero false positives,  I found that it was a safe
test, so I switched to the dynamic weight option, and score with a small
base weight, and after that, it's up to the spammer as to how high the score
will get.

If you're interested in the URI hinting, I'd suggest that you look at Kami's
filter files, which are much cleaner than what I could offer.
