(I don't want to add to the noice on the list any longer, just one last comment and then I'm done with this.) Advertising is _not_ the same as spam, unwanted advertising is not the same as spam; spam is by definition unsolicited bulk _e-mails_; an e-mail with an ad in it is just that, an e-mail with an ad in it. Yes, advertising and spam usually try to do the exact same thing, which is to sell something, meaning that a lot of phrases in spam and advertising are the same; which means that the rules used by SA must be designed so that either a) the common phrases are avoided, or b) so that there are rules with negative scores that cancle out the postive score in non-spam advertising. RULES ARE MEANT TO HIT ON SPAM, NOT ON ANY AND ALL ADVERTISING!!! /Tony -- # Per scientiam ad libertatem! // Through knowledge towards freedom! # # Genom kunskap mot frihet! =*= (c) 1999-2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] =*= # perl -e'print$_{$_} for sort%_=`lynx -source svanstrom.com/t`' ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
