Actually, their FAQ is a little misleading on that point. 127.0.0.4 does include sites listed only in SPEWS: when they say "manually added", that includes "has been manually to the SPEWS list". As someone whose netblock has been listed in SPEWS for the last two days due to the SPEWS policy of intentional collateral damage, I second the motion to change the tests so the scores can be different. (I'm not defending my ISP; I've made my displeasure clear to them and I'm considering other options, so there's no need to flame me about how I'm part of the problem by doing business with them.) Whatever people think of SPEWS, they do intentionally set out to flag non-spam in many cases. I'd guess that the chance of a message flagged in spews.relays.osirusoft.com actually being spam is probably quite a bit lower than the chance of a message flagged by inputs.relays.osirusoft.com being spam (although I haven't done any tests; this just seems logical based on the listing policies). Given that, spews.relays.osirusoft.com should be scored differently from inputs.relays.osirusoft.com. Having one rule combining them (which is what happens with a pure relays.osirusoft.com lookup) is less than optimal if they should be scored differently. ------------------------------------ Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies ------------------------------------------------------- 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
