We're an ISP where the users can choose their 'required_hits' but not the individual scoring of rules. So we couldn't score too highly in any event. But my impression is that 'biz.yahoo' is mostly a responsible site, so I'll not do anything about it this time..... > If you decide to do it, my advise would be to give the score > _just_ enough to put it over the threshold (like 0.01 over). Because the users can set their own required_hits, this would be difficult to guess at. But 0.5 seems like a fair value in line with other indicators of 'possible' spam. - Charles ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
