Bart explained the Date issue, which I think is probably right. As for the From: does not include a real name, without looking at the specific rule, I'm thinking that real names often include things like first and lastnames, possibly with middle name or initial, etc. In other words, the name of some real person or title, not just an email address like: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you're having problems with false positives, you might consider upping your required threshold. The default is 5 so cranking it down to 3 is likely to net you a good number of false positives. > X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=3.2 required=3.0 -- Public key #7BBC68D9 at | Shane Williams http://pgp.mit.edu/ | System Admin - UT iSchool =----------------------------------+------------------------------- All syllogisms contain three lines | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Therefore this is not a syllogism | www.ischool.utexas.edu/~shanew ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
