>who don't have 24/7 connectivity That is an implementation issue which could be resolved by checking other timestamps in the header.
Possibly the origination local TOD might be more valuable or combined with the "always on" delivery TOD provide more definitive indication. It is delicate enough that would definitely have to be configurable on/off with an off default. I am convinced there is a valuable correlation if combined with other factors like final score, or even more granular, the other rules hit. It should probably also have a learning capability to learn which rule associations would be most effective and score accordingly. I just don't know if it would be worth the effort coding something complex enough provide a reliable indication. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Radford [mailto:martin@;zamenhof.demon.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 2:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] TOD score for SPAM At Thu Oct 24 19:44:37 2002, SpamTalk wrote: > > Would the delivery time of day be a useful value for nudging the score > for spam. Is there an easy way to test this in the GA? It would be a poor move for those of us who don't have 24/7 connectivity for their mailservers. My mail is delivered by SMTP from my ISP over my dial-up connection, and hence my mail is delivered between 0630-0730 and 1830-2330 (i.e. the times my system is on-line). Naturally, this is my home PC, but I can imagine there are plenty of such users (even though our mail volume is small).
