Really? Good lord. That's awful.

Does it allow you to specify a rule like 'header contains "*****" AND 
header does not contain "**********"'? That would work.

Slightly annoying, admittedly. You'd have to decide if it's more work to 
modify SpamAssassin or enter longer rules in GroupWise.

I bet most people could understand "messages with ten stars are more 
likely to be spam than messages with three stars", or an explanation like 
that.

I agree there would probably be a few that couldn't even handle that, but 
in my experience those people probably couldn't handle setting up any 
kind of mail rule, either, so it won't matter much (i.e., you'll have to 
do it for them anyway).

Only the person setting up the rule needs to understand the numbers. The 
person using the computer doesn't need to know there are numbers involved 
-- messages just get filed into their folders like "possibly spam", 
"definitely spam", etc.

Ugh. I hereby reject these terms. Now what?  :-)
