Hello, everyone.

I just started using SpamAssassin, and it seems very effective.

I have noticed that some of the rules which would logically seem to
indicate that a message *is* spam have negative weightings, e.g.:

body   Contains word 'profits' in all-caps             PROFITS        -0.162
body   How dear can you be if you don't know my name?  DEAR_FRIEND    -0.242
body   Contains at least 3 dollar signs in a row       CASHCASHCASH   -0.839

How were these weightings arrived at?  Shouldn't they be positive?



BTW, here are some rules from my old homebrew procmail filter that
don't appear to be in SpamAssassin:

1) look for data being passed on an href, or a cgi-bin url:

:0 B:
* (href|src)=[^?>]*(\?|/cgi-bin/)
IN.junk_hrefdata

2) All e-mail made with MS FrontPage is spam:

:0 B:
* meta name=\"GENERATOR\" content=\"Microsoft (FrontPage|Visual Studio)
IN.junk_metatag

Maybe those could be SpamAssassin-ified?
