We could take out the rules that get triggered often for newsletters, journals and mailing lists, and re-run the GA with that to produce a second scores file that won't tag those things as spam; admins could optionally use this scores file instead of the standard one. This would also let more spam through, however. We could do something similar, but add rules that detect mailing lists and such (and let the GA give them negative scores), rather than taking away rules that give false positives. This would also lead to more spam getting through, since it's rather easy to fake these things in spam, and some spammers use list software to send their spam. We could add the newsletters and journals that give false positives to whitelist file, or to an optional whitelist file. We could make a huge optional whitelist file of all the newsletters, journals and mailing lists that can be found; sysadmins could use it, but it would make SA slower and take more memory. -- Visit http://dmoz.org, the world's | Give a man a match, and he'll be warm largest human edited web directory. | for a minute, but set him on fire, and | he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
