Well, yes, that's true - SpamAssassin already includes a bunch of these, such as COPYRIGHT_CLAIMED and PHP_SIGNATURE. What I was talking about was the fact that several items that weren't originally intended as indicators of non-spam have been given large negative scores, for example: score 25FREEMEGS_URL -4.606 score BE_AMAZED -4.581 score MONSTERHUT -8.280 score ONCE_IN_LIFETIME -4.604 While some of the negative scores (like DEAR_SOMEBODY) might have really turned into legitimate indicators of non-spam, I don't think any message deserves having its spam score reduced by 8 points by virtue of its mentioning "www.monsterhut.com", a well-known spam source. > body CORRECT_FOR_EXCHANGE /This message is in MIME format/ > describe CORRECT_FOR_EXCHANGE Correct for MIME 'null block' FYI, I seem to recall SA already having a test like this.
