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.)

Jennifer
