Thanks to all who responded to me with hints and suggestions. I had seen all the web sites mentioned but had not completely understood how they all fitted together. Maybe a topic for the FAQ?
I've tried adding a fair number of rules and, noting comments made, had the notion of asking if it would be a good idea if authors quoted the target hit values that their rules were designed for? If people knew what the target the scores in the rules have been designed for they could be easily recalculated by anyone for their own target. So far all the rules I've tried are fine as I mark as spam at 5.0, and deliver, I don't deliver at 10.0 and above (I've seen no false positives above 10.0). One set I've tried, the virus bounce, interested me as I'm being inundated with Sven virus emails. These have increased dramatically recently as in the last week I have created a number of new email accounts just for maillist postings and these are all now getting hit with Sven mails. Anyway, looking though the virus bounce rules I did not see any referring to Sven. Has anyone written some or do they need doing? I'm no coding king (it's been 20 years since I did any serious programming) but I'll have a go if they need doing. regards Alan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
