Hi Dallas Thanks for posting your tests. Bob found the same type thing on the weeds set when he ran the rules against his monster corpus. I realize those hit on ham, but for the most part, they don’t hit it hard. There were however some emails that weeds did push over the threshold. I tag at 7.0, so I hadn't noticed before he sent me his test. You could lower the points on those rules. -Or- There is a second set of weeds that is more restrictive if you'd rather try those out. They're on the page with the others. (http://www.emtinc.net/spamhammers.htm ) I wrote those after Bob's test. Both sets are still up, I prefer the originals for us.
Also, I noticed you're using an older version of P&B, you might want to check out the new sets as well. They hit better. (The spammers altered their tag content, and I had a little more time to learn how to write them to be more inclusive but remain reliable.)
