Actually I'd say if a message tripped 5 really low-scoring tests, it isn't necessarily spam. If it trips some higher-scoring tests and adds up to 5.0, it is spam. Isn't this what we have already? I'm not sure whether this is a good idea or not. On the one hand, it seems like if any five low-scoring rules are enough to guarantee that something is spam, the GA would have given them higher scores. On the other hand, maybe it wouldn't hurt to let the GA figure this out. -- michael moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "I have often depended on the blindness of strangers." -- Adrienne E.
