I'm a geek and I don't even think it would work well for my mailbox - everyone's interested in making money sometimes. I still think a rule for "making money on the internet" would be nice, though. > Either the score for something like this needs to be choosen very > carefully, or rules need to be broken into categories that can be > choosen per-user.

Although I like the fact that SpamAssassin requires very little customization to work, a few specific categories that you could choose (or better yet, score) yourself might be helpful. Something like the language preference where you specify the languages you receive non-spam mail in. A "stock reports" category, for example, might include rules for things like "OTCBB" and the existing "strong buy", which would be specified with the category attached. There would then be a default multiplier for the category, based on aggregate statistics in the spam corpus, and individuals could change the multiplier based on their preference (100% for those who never get legitimate stock reports, 10% for those who get many) I'm imagining separate files of rules for each category: business-related spam, stock spam, health/fitness spam, and so on. Of course, I'm also imagining someone else doing all of the work. :) -- michael moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean." -- G.
